LATOxLATO’s 'Hook Me Up' mini sculptures introduce a unique blend of art, design, and subtle eroticism. The four collectible design-driven objects draw inspiration from marine life.
The creative duo behind the project, Virginia Valentini and Francesco Breganze de Capnist, explore themes of sensuality and imagination with pieces that balance playful design with artistic provocation. The mini sculptures in the Hook Me Up series include 'Lovevster,' 'Cuddlefish,' 'Hugtopus,' and 'Sea Horny.' Each is crafted from reclaimed marble with distinctive, unpredictable colors depending on the material available.
LATOxLATO’s 'Hook Me Up' mini sculptures transcend typical decorative objects while offering multiple layers of interpretation — from their aquatic forms to their nuanced references to intimacy and desire. Their deliberate ambiguity invites curiosity and engagement, which can make them conversation pieces that intrigue collectors.
