Black and White Lodge - Interior

Interior

There is little furniture in the Red Room aside from a few chairs. There is also a statue of Venus de Milo. There are no doors to speak of; movement from room to room is accomplished by crossing through another set of red curtains that lead to a narrow hallway. The floor is a zig-zag pattern of black and white, and all sides of any room and all walls of any hallway encountered are covered by identical red curtains. In the final episode, we see a second room in the Lodge, identical to the first. Between the two rooms is a narrow corridor which has the same floor and "walls" as the other two rooms.

Although Lodge inhabitants speak English, their voices sound warped and strangely clipped, with rise and fall patterns opposite of what an English spoken sentence normally have. Residents often speak in riddles and non-sequiturs. The main inhabitants of the Lodge are The Man from Another Place, The Giant and Killer BOB.

In the final episode of Twin Peaks, Cooper meets The Man from Another Place, who refers to the Red Room as the "waiting room". This coincides with Hawk's claim that every spirit must pass through the Black Lodge on the way to perfection and that the Red Room leads to the White Lodge as well.

The red curtains, zig-zag floors and bright spotlights of the White and Black Lodges have also appeared in several of David Lynch's other films, suggesting that Lynch may view their influences as ongoing in his narrative worlds.
