I don't often look at the floor whilst walking, but having a very little dog, makes you notice lots of things. Pieces of conscious design work can be found all around us. These manhole covers are so ubiquitous that they are almost invisible; unnoticeable. They are completely functional, yet decorative; reminding us that they are the result of design. Is this the desperate cry of a manhole cover designer?
