Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-CHANDIGARH

$25.00

Chandigarh, India is a planned city largely drawn up by the studio of Le Corbusier in 1951. Due to that plan and his relative civic buildings, the city was granted Unesco status in 2106. Pierre Jeanneret, his cousin, transferred to the northern city to preside over the massive construction endeavors which included his own housing solutions for the city’s residents, a well-regarded wooden chair, and most likely this iron cover. The cover was produced in the early 1950s and was one of many in the city. Yet, theft has become an issue as these designs which depict the superblock masterplan of the city, its surrounding waterways, and an added nod to the Open Hand motif are highly coveted by the design literati. One unit recently sold for $21,000. You can get your own here much more cost-effectively.

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.
