Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-LAUSANNE

$25.00

Two lines and a red stripe define the emblem of Lausanne, Switzerland’s fourth-largest city. Established eighteen-hundred years ago as Lousonnensium by the Romans, the city lies on the north coast of Lake Léman. Lausanne hosts the Olympic museum as well as the fantastic Olympics HQ designed by 3XN. The coat of arms, which is normally just a red shield with a white upper third, occupies the center of the cover with its heraldic formation that includes two lions, Civitas and Communitas. A pickpoint sits at the very center while two maker’s marks mark the east and west quadrants. DIN typeface illustrates the name of the city and the word for sanitation in french. A circumference of 88 squares encloses the content with the omnipresent cigarette butt lies flattened just inside.

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.
