Designers of different nationalities bring their own take to the appearance of the humble access covers that we walk and drive over every day. This time I have a collection of samples from Gran Canaria.

Not unlike some of your Irish ones, actually. Maybe there’s an international convention on how manhole covers should look.

I suppose some elements of the designs are universally practical – it’s the little differences added by individual designers that appeal to me!
