Manhole Covers / Urban Design

IDEA
Manhole Covers — This is an urban design project for souvenir products inspired by the streets of Minsk. It features a collection of coasters designed to resemble manhole covers.
This original souvenir line captures the city’s character and atmosphere, reflecting its unique spirit and cultural heritage.

DESCRIPTION
When we walk along our favorite streets, we see how every element plays its role in the overall harmony of the city.

Manhole covers are like “DNA.” They encode a cultural code that is passed down from generation to generation. They have their own character, beauty, and a recognizable local pattern.
We can enjoy our walks without noticing these small details, which subtly guide us on tours, share their stories, and preserve their history. They create pleasant moments and lasting impressions.

It is precisely these details that shape our perception of the city and its unique atmosphere, one that makes us want to return again and again.

MISSION
To develop souvenir products that capture the spirit of the city. The goal is to create a unique souvenir line that reflects the character, atmosphere, and cultural identity of the city. The main objective is to establish a recognizable brand that resonates with both locals and tourists. The products should be aesthetically appealing and functional, emphasizing key symbols and distinctive features of the city.
