Urban Accents - Manhole And Sewer Cover Throw Pillows By In The Seam.
Typically one does not want to rest their head on a manhole cover. Not unless it's one of the fun inkjet printed throw pillows by Rhonda of Brooklyn'sIn the Seam.
Available in two sizes, Rhonda has created round comfy throw pillows with images of manhole, or sewer, covers (both domestic and international) from photographs she took herself. The gritty urban imagery is surprisingly neutral when mixed with both modern and antique interiors.

Prices range from $42 for the smaller pillows to $85 for the larger ones.

Art can be found anywhere. And manhole covers are no exception.
The Japanese have been creating and manufacturing ornate and decorative manhole covers for many years. Some with color (sand or enamel), and some just crafted of steel and or iron. There are thousands of photo galleries and flickr sets of these but here I pulled a few of my personal favorites and categorized them, first by color, then by subject, for you.
After the images there are links to many more images from around the web.
