# Aspirational Salvaged Furniture Godspeed Presents the How to Get Famous Furniture Collection By Jessica Marcel | Published 2010-03-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/how-to-get-famous References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/godspeed-and-how-to-get-famous/) & [weareonlyinitforthemoney](http://www.weareonlyinitforthemoney.com/) The Godspeed design company created their new 'How to Get Famous' [furniture collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yves-salomon) as a statement against the cult of celebrity in the United States. Each piece was created from [found material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/formwork-collection)--trash, according to the designers--and mashed together to make something that closely resembles each type of furniture. 'How to Get Famous,' which took [waste](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trashy) and mashed it together into a new form, is an abstract representation of culture in the US. Sounds like Godspeed maybe didn't make the cut on their last audition. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% 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) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Upcycled Furniture:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity for businesses to create furniture using found materials, reducing waste and promoting sustainability. - **Anti-celebrity Movement:** The trend of challenging the cult of celebrity presents an opportunity for businesses to cater to consumers seeking alternative forms of fame and self-expression. - **Cultural Commentary Design:** Designing furniture as abstract representations of culture allows for disruptive innovation by challenging traditional design concepts and sparking conversations. ### Where This Applies - **Eco-friendly Furniture:** The eco-friendly furniture industry can capitalize on the upcycled furniture trend by offering innovative and sustainable pieces that appeal to environmentally conscious consumers. - **Artisanal Home Decor:** Artisanal home decor businesses have the opportunity to tap into the anti-celebrity movement trend, providing unique and personal alternative options for consumers who value individuality over fame. - **Conceptual Design:** The conceptual design industry can explore the trend of cultural commentary, using furniture as a medium for artistic expression and thought-provoking statements. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Upcycled Veneer Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-george-collection.md) - [Waste-Incorporated Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knoll-chairs.md) - [Organic Ancient Design Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/earth-to-people-furniture-collection.md) - [Minimal Collaborative Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ash-furniture.md) - [Broken-Aesthetic Sculpture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brokenaesthetic-sculpture-collection.md) - [Sleek Artful Accessible Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abigail-collection.md) - [Celebrity-Designed Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goop-and-cb2.md) - [Felled Tree Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ptacek-home-chunk-line.md) - [Americana Furniture Debut Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/archivism.md)
