Overlooked 2.0 transforms London’s manhole covers into works of art

Marina Willer Overlooked 2.0 project.

Industrial design so often goes unnoticed – something that Pentagram partner Marina Willer is striving to change. Overlooked 2.0 is a series of bright, dynamic prints celebrating the street covers of London, showcasing this unappreciated facet of urban design in a striking, graphic reimagining.

Adopting neon colours and bold composition, each piece is a vivid recontextualisation of the industrial designs. Expertly contrasting the utilitarian design with a lively palette, Marina's use of colour theory is a delightful juxtaposition of functionality and fun, extracting beauty from right beneath our feet.
