# Funny Urban Furniture Studio Synthetica Transforms City Objects Into Items for Your Home By Peter Vallas | Published 2011-06-08 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-synthetica References: [wewastetime.wordpress](http://wewastetime.wordpress.com/2011/06/06/city-is-my-home/) & [studiosynthetica.wordpress](http://studiosynthetica.wordpress.com/) Design and architecture concept developers [Studio Synthetica](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crate-installation) has developed a fun design concept called ‘City Is My Home.’ This concept aims to create a product that deals with current ecological issues; something that shows sustainability while being able to be available to all social platforms. The team behind Studio Synthetica thought of one place that everyone knows and loves to be the answer to this project issue -- the [city of London](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/t4-collection). Using architecture and objects around London, Studio Synthetica used their creativity to give new uses to objects people walk past every day. They turned a [bike rack into a gym](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-furniture1), and even a bus stop into a shoe rack. I’m not sure you can really claim anywhere in the city as your home, but it’s a fun concept. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Eco-friendly Urban Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create sustainable products by repurposing urban objects and promoting ecological awareness. - **Creative Reuse:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Transform ordinary urban elements into functional and unique products that cater to diverse social platforms. - **City-inspired Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate urban aesthetics into home design by using repurposed city objects as decorative and functional items. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architecture and Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore innovative ways to blend sustainable and urban elements in architectural and design projects. - **Urban Development:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate creative strategies for repurposing existing urban elements to enhance city aesthetics and functionality. - **Home Furnishings:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate urban-inspired design concepts into home furnishings using repurposed materials from the city environment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [City-Honoring Furniture Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/symbiotic-urban-furniture-project.md) - [AI-Powered Cityscape Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-urban-furniture.md) - [Broken Bike Lock Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/people-and-places.md) - [Recycled Plastic Decor Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plastplan-design-studio.md) - [Abandoned Bikes-Turned Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/objects-from-frames.md) - [Recycled Shoe-Made Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remix-maison.md) - [Milan Streets-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-salotto-milanese.md) - [Reused Skyscraper Furniture Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aged-form-line.md) - [Sculptural Public Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-public-seating.md)
