Work Summary & Collector Notes
A 2026 collaboration between Vhils and Hugo Oliveira, Home is a limited-edition album object rather than a conventional print. The work marries a vinyl record format with laser-etched laminated wood composite, signed and numbered by both artists across an edition of 100 plus 10 artist proofs, at a compact 35 by 35 centimetres.

Why It Matters
The piece extends Vhils's carving language into the domain of sound and packaging design, treating the album sleeve as an etched surface. Musical crossovers sit outside his core mural and print practice, making this a distinctive object for collectors who follow his interdisciplinary output and the intersection of street art with record culture.
Collector Perspective
With dual artist signatures and a run of 100, this is a small edition presented as a functional object with sculptural dimension via the 3-centimetre depth. Collectors should weigh its hybrid nature: it appeals both to Vhils followers and to design-object and vinyl collectors, a narrower but committed cross-audience.
Historical Context
Released in 2026, Home reflects the ongoing tendency of contemporary street artists to collaborate across disciplines. Vhils, born Alexandre Farto, built his reputation on carved-wall portraiture in Lisbon; here the etching gesture is transposed onto a wood-composite album format co-authored with Hugo Oliveira.
