This might seem a little weird, but I’ve become obsessed with manhole covers around the world recently. Some of them feature some beautiful patterns and designs, like this one in Berlin.
The rusted circle of iron boasts some of the city’s famous landmarks including the Brandenburg Gate, Television Tower, Reichstag Building, Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, Olympiastadion, Federal Chancellery Building, and the Victory Column.
This piece was created from an original photograph, digitally coloured, and printed on a slim sheet of brushed alumnium, which reflects the manhole cover’s material and brings out the details of the landmarks.
Going Round Berlin is made to order. It can usually be created and delivered in around 10-14 days. An aluminium subframe on the back makes it incredibly easy to hang.

The top of one of my favourite buildings in Berlin - the Television Tower. The tower, constructed by the East German government in the 1960’s, was intended to be a symbol of Communist power and the country’s supposed technological prowess.
I love it’s retro design, especially its tiled stainless steel dome. This piece is created from an original photograph and printed on a slim sheet of circular aluminium, which replicates the landmark’s metallic appearance and picks out the lovely patterns and detail.

This image appealed to me because it shows two of Berlin’s most famous landmarks side by side - landmarks with such different stories and purposes: the futuristic Berlin Television Tower flanked by the ornate design of the ‘Berliner Dom’, dating back to the 1890’s.
The piece is created from an original photograph and digitally coloured. The image is printed on a slim sheet of brushed aluminium which gives it an etched appearance and brings out the details of both buildings.
