Wieden + Kennedy London have collaborated with artist Fredrik Andersson to create the 'Arse Vase.'
This ceramic posterior was created for London Pride week to raise awareness for HIV. The proceeds from the vases will go to 'Positive East,' a charity that supports people living with HIV. The vases come in three color options -- pink, tan or brown and have the option of being 'hairy.' The Arse Vase from Wieden + Kennedy London is certainly a fun way to celebrate London Pride, but fans of these cheeky vases will have to move quickly as only 100 pieces were made.
According to Andersson, "In recent years, I have realized that as an artist you have a responsibility to give something back to the queer community that is such a big part of my life."
