Overlooked no more, the manhole covers of London’s storied streets are receiving a vibrant tribute. Visual artist and Pentagram partner, Marina Willer, has breathed new life into these metallic canvases with Overlooked 2.0.

Discover the unexpected beauty hiding in plain sight on the buzzing streets of London. Overlooked 2.0 is Marina Willer’s homage to the intricately designed utility hole covers that dot the city’s historic pavements.

  • Art in Public Spaces: These are not just functional street covers, but pieces of Victorian art, seamlessly blending with the everyday.
  • Celebration of Diversity: The project amplifies London’s cultural fabric, showcasing the intricate patterns found in its industrial relics.
  • Vibrant Reimagining: With a splash of neon, Marina emphasizes the diverse character of London in these art prints.

Supporting the intersection of history, design, and public art, Overlooked 2.0 has launched on Kickstarter. Art connoisseurs can obtain limited edition items, from screenprints to wearable art, all featuring the striking designs of London’s manhole covers.

Step into the gallery of the streets and witness the transformation of everyday objects into eye-catching masterpieces, ahead of the upcoming London Design Festival exhibition where they will also feature.

“It’s a celebration of London’s rich, yet often unnoticed, history below our feet,” remarks Marina. “And we’re inviting everyone to join in rediscovering these urban treasures.”
