Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Graz
Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Graz
The capital of Styria, Graz is home to 300,000 Austrians. The city spans the Mur river where Vito Acconci created a bridge/island that is "A bowl that morphs into a dome that morphs into a bowl…" Another spectacular work of contemporary architecture within the designated Unesco heritage city center is the blobular Contemporary Art Museum designed by Peter Cook & Colin Fournier. This iron cover sits just outside that museum and features the city emblem within a field of octagons and diamonds and surrounded by standard foundry designations. This cover is also found in the Austria manhole cover coaster set.
The perfect gift for housewarmings, and anniversaries each illustration is initially hand-drawn for precision and then permanently etched into cork. The trivets are .375" thick and 7.25" in diameter with rounded edges. 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.
As each one is made to order please allow three business days for delivery.
