Mita Biciclista Palace is one of Bucharest's most beautiful historic buildings — an ornate 19th-century structure in the heart of the Romanian capital, now reimagined as a cultural centre that reinvents hospitality through daily events and experiences. For Christmas 2023, the brief was simple and ambitious: make the façade unforgettable.
Bullard Outdoor brought in the King of Love floor lamps. Majestic and baroque, the sculptural presence transformed the entire building exterior into something between a design installation and a seasonal landmark. For the duration of winter, Mita Biciclista became the most photographed building in the city.
What makes King of Love right for a moment like this is scale and character. These are pieces that command a space rather than occupy it. Made from durable polyethylene, they're fully weather-resistant — which matters when you're placing them outdoors in a Bucharest winter. UV-stable and built to last indefinitely, they can be deployed season after season without any loss of visual impact.
There's also something worth noting for architects and designers thinking about temporary or seasonal installations: the right product doesn't need to be delicate or disposable to create a strong moment. Sometimes what you need is something built to last forever, placed somewhere it can shine for a season.
