Manhole Covers

PLEASE NOTE — Our long so-called bracelet-style top lid gift boxes (215 x 45 x 25mm) will soon be replaced with Stereohype's new matchbox-style gift box versions. We only have limited stock of these long boxes left during this transition period. New additions will automatically be packaged with our new matchbox-style packaging. We will gradually reshoot preview visuals but for now it is what you see is what you get.

Each of these long luxury gift boxes contains seven of Stereohype's popular button badges. Selected designs are taken from Stereohype's growing button badge collection. So-called Artist Gift Boxes feature button badges designed by only one of Stereohype's super-talented 600+ international contributors – artists, illustrators, designers, architects, photographers, collectives and studios. Inside the elegant matt black cardboard gift box is a black flock pad and badges are directly pinned into it. All Stereohype button badges available at stereohype.com are classic high quality one inch (25mm) metal back badges with so-called D-pin (although it looks more like an 'e'). Tiny stickers at the back of each button badge mention the artist, release date, series number, etc. Badges are printed and encapsulated with love and care in the United Kingdom.

Badges by CHK Design from Stereohype's B.I.O. Series 15. Manhole Covers — "These designs highlight and celebrate the 'beauty of the everyday’. Our selection of manhole covers are ‘found' objects which one would not normally look at or even notice. It is a way to look at our world where ‘everything is designed’."
