Palais Bulles
Antti Lovag
France · 1980s
Architecture
Sometimes Cannes glamour needs a good dose of madness. While everyone squeezes into the symmetrical, buttoned-up corridors of the Croisette’s big hotels, the true luxury sits a few kilometres away on the cliffs of Théoule sur Mer. Hungarian architect Antti Lovag rejected the tyranny of straight lines when he built Palais Bulles. The result is a wholly organic, sensuous work — a constellation of bubbles pitched toward the Mediterranean. Couturier Pierre Cardin had the instinct to make it his sanctuary. This maze of pink spheres became the stage for the festival’s most private, off-kilter soirées. An utopian architecture that proves you can shatter the rigid codes of luxury, invent a parallel universe and throw parties by your own rules.
