NEW YORK — These take the concept of “phallic architecture” to a whole new level. A New York City firm has created sex toy replicas of the unique and controversial buildings in Manhattan’s Hudson Yards.
The erotic objects from the Chinatown-based architecture and design outfit Wolfgang & Hite are reportedly meant to skewer the architecture and excess of the glittering $25 billion West Side development, which opened to much fanfare in March.
“There’s a lot to love in NYC’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,” Wolfgang & Hite said in a news release, according to the architecture publication Dezeen.
The line includes scale-model dildos shaped like Hudson Yards’ mammoth skyscrapers, along with stimulating accessories mimicking the complex’s smaller structures.
The project appears to have been in the works for several months — Wolfgang & Hite posted a photo of a mold for one of the toys on Instagram in early April. The firm shared images of the finished products on its page Wednesday morning.
The pink silicone dildos range in size from about eight inches to more than 12 inches, according to Curbed. One modeled after the double-barreled tower at 15 Hudson Yards features a “clitoral stimulator” resembling The Shed, the performing arts venue erected at the site.
There’s also a “butt plug” shaped like The Vessel, the polarizing interactive sculpture that’s been compared to a shawarma and a beehive. (Hudson Yards’ developer, The Related Companies, is still soliciting ideas for a permanent name for the object.)
