Due to the bold and robust nature of the Manholes, I chose to keep it simple in my own designs. The color palette is inspired by the urban landscape, featuring tones of Slate Blue, Olive Green, and Rust Orange, reminiscent of weathered manhole covers and asphalt surfaces.

The concept for Manhole Coasters was created from wanting to bridge the gap between our brand and functionality. Coasters are crafted to replicate either our logo or real man hole covers from cities around the world.

I wanted to ​incorporate printmaking into my take-away concept. The tactile and age-old practice resonates the essence of manhole covers. For this process we roll paint over the designs and patterns found on manhole covers. We place a fabric item on top of the painted surface. Then, we apply some pressure to transfer the design. This transfer process captures the textures and details of the original design. This allows our ​participants to take home a shirt or bag with a piece of unique urban art.
