Studio Lintel, Marseille

The red door of Cinema Rood

How a cinema's identity became one painted door and a lamp.

Places

4 min

Ornate wooden door under stone archway

The brief was to make a cinema with one screen feel like an event. We started with the entrance.

One door, every night

The door is painted a deep red and lit by a single lamp. The poster changes every week, but the door never does.

It now appears on the tickets, the programme and the website, and the neighbours give directions by it.
