Since same-sex marriage is such a hot button issue these days, SAMAdesign has decided to take advantage with the 'I Love You Library.' This inclusive design comes in three different styles: a conjoined man and woman, and two women and two men holding hands.
All of the 'I Love You Library' styles are made of the same materials (welded and brushed aluminium and MDF). The female forms are painted bright pink, while the male forms are a dark charcoal colour.
