Creative chat: Manhole Covers of the World

“Art (Design) is not what you see, but what others make you see.”
Edgar Degas

Huge thanks to Björn Altmann, graphic designer, illustrator and typographer, who visited our Designhouse studio this morning to give a CreativeChat on his latest work!

Björn spoke about his design publication, in collaboration with Niggli AG, Manhole Covers of the World. It details manhole cover designs from over 80 countries, showcasing 170 white-on-black illustrations.

The team were truly inspired by this labour of love and the due diligence to drive a creative journey from concept to delivery over a 20-year period.

Discover how Designhouse have brought award-winning creativity to brands, from creating an identity to implementing designs within our case study work here.
