The Wall of Love

The Wall of LovePB030964 by Nico Paix
Le mur des je t’aime, or Wall of Love in Paris’ Jehan-Rictus Square in Montmartre is a must see romantic rendezvous point to fan the flames of love with another. Frédéric Baron and Claire Kito worked hard to collect those three little words for this huge wall by canvassing neighborhoods and asking how to say the special  phrase in new languages at every house they visited. They wrote down the words in notebooks, eventually gathering enough to cover the romantic wall in 250 languages all expressing the same heartfelt sentence: I Love You.
​

With an area of 40 square metres, (430 sq ft) the wall is made up of 612 tiles, and “I Love You” appears 311 times in a total of 250 languages. The tiles are shaped from enameled lava, adding a fiery touch to the already passionate words. Claire Kito used her gift of calligraphy to design each and every tile. There are splashes of red throughout the words that are pieces of a broken heart. The pieces can all be fit together to create a whole heart.
