# Converted Public Transport Workspaces The Ikarus Bus Office is a DIY Project for the Home By Meghan Young | Published 2012-09-24 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikarus-bus-office References: [dvice](http://dvice.com/archives/2012/09/ultimate-diy-ma.php) & [freshome](http://freshome.com/2012/08/29/half-of-old-hungarian-ikarus-bus-becomes-an-office/) The Ikarus Bus Office offers a [unique and cozy workspace](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kabin) that will inspire as much productivity as it does creativity. It is made out of an old Hungarian bus cabin. Although some may think that a bus is rather big for a home office, it is important to note that the designer behind this impressive [do-it-yourself project](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schtauss) severed the front portion off for a smaller, more manageable space. Created by an unknown Hungarian man, the Ikarus Bus Office creates a [great room divider for concentration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ma-camilla-isabel-reyes) purposes. With enough room for a desk and chair, the Ikarus Bus Office would make a great retro addition to any living space. Complete with a new paint job and everything, the Ikarus bus has been restored to its former beauty, minus 90% of its body. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 94% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Converted Transport Workspaces:** Repurposing old vehicles into mobile workspaces for remote work or creative endeavors. - **DIY Home Office Projects:** Encouraging people to create unique and personalized workspaces from unconventional materials and vehicles. - **Retro Home Design:** Reviving vintage aesthetics in home decor and repurposing old objects as functional design pieces. ### Who This Affects Most - **Automotive:** Utilizing old vehicle bodies as a sustainable and creative solution for mobile workspaces and other store or office redesigns. - **Home Furnishings:** Capitalizing on the demand for unique and sustainable home decor by offering DIY kits and upcycled objects as stylish design pieces. - **Office Supplies:** Incorporating recycled vehicle parts or other unconventional materials into office furniture to appeal to eco-conscious and design-savvy customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Compact Work Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dragon-tiny-homes-1.md) - [Office-Equipped Camper Vans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nomadic-office.md) - [Compact Fully-Functioning Camp Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/busbox.md) - [Off-Grid Workspace Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/koda-roadiaq-concept-car.md) - [WFH-Inspired Office Truck Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nomadpro-canter.md) - [Compact Mobile Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/castillo-mobile-office.md) - [Mobile Office Concept Trucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mitsubishi-fuso-nomadpro.md) - [Remote Office Camping Vans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cross-cabin-concept-van.md) - [Multifunctional Transport Buses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubblic-public.md)
