Tearfully beautiful
Set Decoration
Commercial Film · Berlin
A cinematic restaurant setting shaped through colour, contrast and atmosphere.
For Babbel’s Tearfully Beautiful campaign, the existing restaurant interior was transformed into a heightened cinematic environment. Drawing on an expressive, Almodóvar-inspired colour language, deep reds and warm orange accents were introduced as a counterpoint to the green tones of the characters’ wardrobe.
Colour becomes part
of the spatial narrative.
01 / COLOUR & ATMOSPHERE
The existing classical architecture provided a restrained backdrop for a deliberately saturated set. Red became the dominant spatial layer — carried through textiles, table settings and curtains — while warm orange lighting introduced depth and intimacy.
Against this environment, the green wardrobe creates a deliberate chromatic contrast. Rather than treating set, costume and light as separate elements, they become part of one visual composition.
From existing space
to cinematic set.
02 / BEHIND THE SCENES
The existing restaurant provided the architectural framework. Through textiles, colour, lighting, furniture and table settings, the space was transformed into a cinematic environment for the campaign.
