PROJECT BRIEF
CNN’s studio is shared by CNN Tonight with Don Lemon, Fareed Zakaria GPS, and Erin Burnett OutFront, so key to the design was creating a visually flexible environment with varied shot axes.
Besides a few CNN-red accent stripes, the studio’s limited material palette of white, brushed metal, and black allows the LED content (across 1000+ sq-ft of high-res screens) and lighting cues to completely redefine the character of the space.
This mutability paired with three unique anchor desks affords each show a distinct look while occupying the same studio.
