Kissing Couple XXXL, Large sculpture at Hempontplein, Amsterdam, Netherlands.

The Kissing Couple XXXL presents two figures in traditional Dutch dress, with the male standing 8.6 meters tall and the female measuring 8.1 meters in height.

The sculpture was commissioned by FietsCoalitie and installed on November 30, 2017, to mark the bicycle route connecting Zaanstad to Sloterdijk and Amsterdam Center.

The design references the miniature Delftware kissing couples that represent affection in Dutch decorative arts, enlarged to create a modern interpretation.

Located next to the Hempont ferry dock, the sculpture serves as a meeting point with charging stations for electric bicycles and picnic tables.

The statues maintain only 20 centimeters of space between their lips and weigh a combined total of 6,700 kilograms.
