Posted by
For two weeks only, Bang & Olufsen is inviting Londoners to lose themselves in an evening of cinematic indulgence at Smallbone’s Luxury Pavilion, nestled in the heart of Knightsbridge.
The visionary new pop-up unites film and food in collaboration with celebrated two Michelin-starred chef and restaurateur, Tom Sellers, giving visitors the chance to see and hear classic films like never before accompanied by theatre-themed bites with a fine dining twist.
The pop-up picture-house comes as part of Bang & Olufsen’s exclusive ambassadorial relationship with Tom Sellers, who’s meticulously constructed menu for the pop-up comprises a selection of delectable delights designed to feed the soul.
Guests will be able to purchase tickets to a film screening of their choice. Following welcome drinks within the opulent Smallbone showroom, visitors will be invited to take their seats in one of four artfully decorated booths, decked out with Bang & Olufsen’s latest home cinema launch, Beosound Theatre. From there, they will be served signature small plates by Tom Sellers as they immerse themselves in the film, creating an exquisite feast for all the senses.
A sculptural piece of audio art, Beosound Theatre’s immersive sound and unparalleled Scandi design will make for a magical movie experience that’s only heightened by Tom Sellers’ playful, rule-breaking approach to dining.
Meanwhile, Smallbone’s captivating multi-sensory retail space is the setting for an evening to remember. Echoing Bang & Olufsen’s own spirit of innovation, Smallbone has redefined the concept of contemporary living with its intelligent approach to design and time-honoured artisanal craftsmanship, creating inspirational spaces for living, relaxing, entertaining, and dreaming for more than four decades.
