The spirit of Valentine's Day flooded these days Times Square, with the newly opened installation by Collective-LOK, a circular pavilion consisting of gilded mirrors shaped like giant hearts. Whether you are in love or not, it will not leave you indifferent!

A few days to February 14 - Valentine's Day - the streets of New York welcome the outcome of the competition installation Times Square Valentine Heart Design. Among the numerous proposals is the appearance of hearts constant in all kind of representations, materials and possible interpretations.
However, the 12 gold and reflective hearts by Collective-LOK will be the ones which adorn hundreds of photographs on Sunday. The mirrors multiplied the interior space and the visitors as well and give a second sight of the skyscrapers of Times Square.
“We are thrilled to create the Heart of Hearts for Valentine’s Day, an engagement ring for our love affair with the spectacle of Times Square,” said Collective–LOK in a press release. “It’s truly a special opportunity to provide a space for intimacy and performance in the heart of the city, one we hope visitors will love.”
