The CineVita is a space that takes audiences back to the golden age of Hollywood, to a movie cinema with no screen where the movies come to life in a 360 degree world. Impeccably crafted in the ateliers of the Rik Klessens Family in Malle, Belgium over the past 3 years, this mobile spiegeltent (Dutch for “mirror tent”) is a not only the largest in the world, but is considered the ‘crown jewel’ of the family’s 104 year history building these incredible traveling structures. Designing this space was truly an honor and a process I will never forget. I spent many hours finding the careful balance of designing an environment that was nostalgic for another time and didn’t feel stuck in the past, all while honoring the history and principles of the European spiegeltent craft.
