This cinema room by designers Owl reflects the studio’s ethos that well-considered design can enhance everyday life. Fusing function and form, Owl crafts interiors with natural materials, fresh colours and organic shapes that feel instinctively uplifting. For an underground linking room in a Grade II Mid-Century Modern house in Hertfordshire, the team created a joyful, dual-purpose playroom and cinema. Inspired by the client’s love of Wes Anderson and the children’s passion for trains, bespoke modular furniture enables seamless day-to-night transformation.
