The exhibition will be set up for sale during [New York Design Week](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mise-en-abymes) where you can purchase a piece of these innovative artworks. Private Property brings together "high-end sustainable furniture design and downtown New York [graffiti culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enigmatic-graffiti)" with graffiti artists such as EARSNOT, SEMEN and JIM JOE. Uhuru is a [contemporary furniture manufacturer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grain-pile) so the works feature unique furniture displays fused with the idea of vandalism. The result is the Alife x Uhuru Private Property exhibition that demonstrates how defacing property can give a unique design to traditional works. The exhibition celebrates how graffiti does not always have to be a bad thing and can actually put a creative spin to design. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Vandalous Art:** Combining art and vandalism to create unique, disruptive works. - **Upcycled Furniture:** Incorporating graffiti and street art into sustainable furniture design. - **Alternative Design:** Challenging traditional design with unconventional materials and techniques. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Exploring new ways to incorporate street art and graffiti into sustainable furniture design. - **Street Art:** Embracing the mainstream art world and finding new ways to collaborate with designers and furniture makers. - **Event Planning:** Creating unique, immersive experiences that challenge traditional ideas of art and design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Broken-Aesthetic Sculpture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brokenaesthetic-sculpture-collection.md) - [Provoking Graffiti Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-ruggeri.md) - [Futile Material Design Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/please-sit-for-an-alternate-ending.md) - [Dynamic Joint Furniture Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/please-sit-for-the-alternate-ending.md) - [American Art Furniture Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/american-art-furniture.md) - [Collaborative Monochromatic Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collaborative-monochromatic-art-exhibition.md) - [Brick-Centric Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brick-collection.md) - [Material-Specific Furniture Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-radford-gallery.md) - [Modern Design-Exploring Art Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pratone-chair.md)
