Also designed in 2003 is the Bubbles cover by Jen Weih. Get in the grid with the Sewers cover which is ubiquitous in downtown Vancouver. Lastly, the Canadian Pacific Railway cover may be the only one left in the city as is over a century old. Learn about them further in the custom coaster section.

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.
