The Pentagram Papers 45: Overlooked

By Marina Willer

Spring 2016’s Pentagram Paper, Overlooked, is a celebration of the gatekeepers to this underground world — street covers. Designed by Pentagram, the 45th Pentagram Paper uses neon colored rubbings to present these metal lids as impeccable pieces of industrial design, threaded throughout the functional fabric of a city. Pentagram’s hope is that Overlooked can serve as a reminder that a city’s beauty isn’t limited to art galleries or grand architecture, and that intricate design is everywhere.
