Design Studio Creates Dildos to Critique New York Building Boom

NEW YORK CITY — Design studio Wolfgang + Hite has unveiled an unusual critique of New York’s high-end real estate boom: a series of bubblegum pink silicone dildos — and one butt plug — that mimic the Hudson Yards development project.

“We regret to inform you there’s now a sex toy shaped like a New York skyscraper,” intoned an Elle.com headline.

The collection is called XXX-HY. The studio created the line as a means of using "humor as a way of critiquing the city and fusing high design with pop culture,” notes Dezeen.com.

"There's a lot to love in New York City’s recent building boom, but the city and developers have been jerking each other off for decades, so naturally we wanted to join in the fun," quipped the design studio in a statement. "Masturbation is a great metaphor for the latest wave of development in New York City."

Each toy is scaled to the height of the building it mimics.

"To challenge what critics have claimed 'placeless' and 'mindless materialism', the design team purposefully exaggerated cues in the architecture of Hudson Yards to make sensitive and stimulating forms for penetrative and external masturbation," the studio notes.

As yet, the toys are not for sale. Follow Wolfgang + Hite on Instagram for additional details.
