Manhole Pillowcases

Bring the City into Any Room With the NYC Sewer Cover Pillow

The NYC Sewer Cover Pillow is the perfect way to have the charm of the city without the smell. Created by Esty user intheseam, aka Ronda J Smith, the piece combines photography and design with sewing. By taking an original photograph of the NYC sewer and printing it onto canvas, the artist creates these covers to add comfortable city living to any home.

These quirky pillows are a fun alternative to dull cushions, and allow you to enjoy the streets of the Big Apple in the comfort of your own home. If at first it may feel strange snuggling up to a sewer cover, remind yourself how comfortable you feel and you'll be fine.

The NYC Sewer Cover Pillow is available to purchase for approximately $42 US.
