Manhole Cover Coasters: Copenhagen Kloakdæksel
Copenhagen Kloakdæksel set includes four from the most wonderful city in the world. The Metro logo is found wherever the new metro lines are. Anne Mette Dixon designed the Hofor manhole cover with birds illustrating her family tree. (read more about it here.) Peter Hentze designed the elephant cover which is found in Kongens Nytorv and the Tivoli cover is of course in the famous amusement park. Who wouldn’t love a city that puts an amusement park in its center?

Tombino replicates manhole covers from around the world into functional art in the form of coasters, trivets and magnets. Each illustration is initially hand-drawn for precision and then permanently etched into cork. These make the perfect birthday or holiday gift. Each coaster is .25" thick and 4" in diameter. The engraving method has incredible detail and tactility. Fabricated from sustainable Portuguese cork. Designed and packaged in Philadelphia, PA USA.
Cork is a natural material, thus rare aberrations within the etching can occur, but at this scale good luck noticing.
As each one is made to order please allow three business days for delivery.
“We all have three cities: the one in which we grew up, the one where we live and the one in which we wished we live."-Alan Furst
A custom display rack can be ordered too. See the individual trivets and magnets as well.
