When dawn breaks, some cities wake up a little more colorful than the night before. Overnight, ordinary street poles and bollards suddenly seem alive — topped with playful, expressive faces that look straight out of a childhood toy box.

🧠 The Artist Behind the Faces
Behind these whimsical transformations is Le CyKlop, a French street artist known for reimagining urban furniture. His signature style? Turning dull metal posts into vibrant characters, often inspired by the iconic heads of LEGO figurines.

🌆 Urban Furniture with a Soul
For years, Le CyKlop has quietly painted bollards and poles, giving them eyes, expressions, and personalities. What was once invisible street infrastructure becomes a friendly face that makes passersby stop, smile, and look twice at their surroundings.

🤝 Art That Sometimes Gets Official Approval
While many of his works appear discreetly overnight, some are created with the consent — and even support — of local municipalities. Gradually spreading from city to city, his colorful characters have become a recognizable form of street art across France and beyond.

✨ Reclaiming the City Through Play
Le CyKlop’s creations remind us that art doesn’t always need walls or galleries. Sometimes, it simply needs a forgotten pole, a splash of paint, and the imagination to turn the everyday city into a living, smiling playground.
