1954 Filmhouse, Kuwait

In Kuwait, a cinema has been renovated to pay homage to the ‘Golden Age’ of the Arab cinema.
The new retro-project, the 1954 Film House at Al Kout Mall in Kuwait, is the first and only boutique cinema concept in Kuwait. Designed by Blacksheep Design, the entrance features a vintage marquee signage, displaying movie titles in crisp, retro typography and a ticketing booth offering classic concierge service, complete with a menu of movies to watch. Terrazzo tiles and golden brass panels adorn the foyer, where movie posters, tickets and other nostalgic memorabilia from decades past are on display. Havelock One also applied distinctive designs for each of the three auditoria, following lighting motifs in gold, red and blue and produced luxury seats upholstered in the same colour spectrum. The fit-out contractor also installed Gustafs linear rib acoustic panels and Eomac fabric wallcovering for soundproofing.
