Amour Edition by André Saraiva
French street artist André Saraiva and Vipp present a limited-edition-collection titled ‘Amour’. The collaboration springs from André commissioning custom Vipp pedal bins for his Hotel Amour in Paris. Vipp’s iconic pedal bin and kitchen have gotten a love injection and are now available dipped in André’s signature pink and his street art alter ego, Mr. A.

Mr. A
There was a significant turning point in the history of street art when André introduced a character into his graffiti - the cheerful, top-hatted stick figure, and now iconic Mr. A. As the first graffiti artist to paint a character in place of the traditional tag name, he quickly became known as Paris’ most active street artist. "Mr.A is my alter-ego, but he also represents everyone’s best friend and lover." - André Saraiva

Pink passion
"In the early 90s my style revolved around layers of vivid and playful colors, but pink has always been my favorite. In graffiti, it was neither common nor popular. So, generally, pink spray cans were the ones left standing on the shelves in store. That left plenty for me to steal. Pink has an advantage over all the other colors—it mixes well with all of them, it makes everything harmonious. Pink became my color", says André Saraiva.

Mr. A has been painted over 300,000 times across six continents. André and his signature character have both appeared in many global brand collaborations and campaigns for over 30 years. André's work has been shown in museums and contemporary art galleries around the world, with the largest being a wall of tiles installed in Lisbon commissioned by the city that spanned over 10.000-square-foot.
