Vincent Faudemer × Snoop Dogg
Snoop Dogg and Vincent Faudemer joined forces to create an iconic sculpture, limited to just 10,000 pieces. Vincent's studio conceived the innovative design, featuring a Babolex whose head can be removed to reveal Snoop’s famous face, thus immortalising the artist in a unique way.
The collaboration garnered widespread media attention, including prominent advertisements in Times Square, New York City, USA. The sculptures were shipped worldwide, and we extend our heartfelt thanks to our incredible collectors for their trust in this extraordinary endeavour, which sold out within seconds.
