GENEVA INDEPENDENT CINEMAS RENOVATION
Cinéma Cinélux - Boulevard Saint-Georges 8.
Cinéma Le City - Place des Eaux-Vives 3.
Geneva independent cinemas Cinélux and Le City completion in 2016 make part of a global renovation project managed by Fonction:Cinéma and financed through Ville de Genève, Loterie Romande and a private foundation.
The main idea of the project is working the transition between public and private space through contrasts, reflects, lights and colors inspired by cinemas festive's ambiance. The public space is introduced through the idea of reflecting the urban space on a mirrored marquee, becoming an icon in both respective neighborhoods and improving visibility and image of this cinemas. The transition to the private space through a contrast of bright colors and dark wood panels creates and defines a bar/coffee space. The screening rooms are unified by dark colors trying to emphasize colorful velvet seats.
