BICICLETA
Șelari  st no. 2, Bucharest

+ status: built
+ Bicicleta (*bicycle in Romanian) was opened in a historic building located in Bucharest’s old city center. The concept revolves around reusing and recycling old bicycle parts, turning them into furniture and lighting fixtures, creating an industrial décor. Partly purchasing pieces from Great Britain, that are mainly from the 1930s, combined with a great number of elements recovered from Romania’s oldest and largest bike factory Pegas, now permanently closed. Using the saddles from the classical Romanian bike – Pegas Kent, a bike that was most popular in the 70’s communist Romania together with defining elements from track bikes, the bar’s entire furniture is laced with a great variety of bicycle parts that add extra detail and contribute to the general ambiance.
