# Manhole Pillowcases Bring the City into Any Room With the NYC Sewer Cover Pillow By Romina S. Cortellucci | Published 2012-06-21 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nyc-sewer-cover-pillow References: [freshome](http://freshome.com/2012/06/19/urban-inspiration-nyc-sewer-cover-pillow-for-casual-spaces/) & [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/listing/59530212/nyc-sewer-canvas-printed-pillow-small) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cotton-house-copper-infused-pillow) are a fun alternative to [dull cushions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pod-pillow-cover), 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manhole-cover-1), remind yourself how comfortable you feel and you'll be fine. The NYC Sewer Cover Pillow is available to purchase for approximately $42 US. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Photography and Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the integration of photography and design in creating unique home decor items. - **Quirky Pillow Alternatives:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop and market unconventional pillow designs that add personality and style to home interiors. - **City-inspired Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a range of home decor items that bring elements of the city into residential spaces for a unique urban vibe. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Innovate within the home decor industry by offering unconventional and urban-inspired products. - **Art and Crafts:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the intersection of art and crafts to create one-of-a-kind items that appeal to unique customer preferences. - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate urban elements into interior design aesthetics to offer clients a distinctive and personalized living space. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stylish Tissue Box Covers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tissue-box-cover.md) - [Oversized Hollow Pillow Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floof-snuggle-sack-and-floor-pillow.md) - [Knitted New York Subways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/straphangers-lounge.md) - [Upcycled Designer Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kara.md) - [Collectible Plush Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/squishpillow-by-original-squishmallows.md) - [Antimicrobial Pillow Covers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pillowwrap.md) - [AI-Powered Pillow Covers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eight-sleep-1.md) - [Vibrant Designer Decor Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/designer-decor-pillow.md) - [Hygiene Improving Pillowcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreema.md)
