# Modified Signage Furniture Tim Delner's Street Sign Furnishings Turn Symbols into Seats By Amelia Roblin | Published 2010-12-15 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tim-delner-s-street-sign References: [dornob](http://dornob.com/street-furniture-10-stolen-signs-turned-into-new-designs/) & [jcandtim](http://www.jcandtim.com/furn.html) Most people have seen similar tasks undertaken, but Tim Delner’s street sign furniture manages to make worn warning signage into aesthetically pleasing contemporary furnishings. The “stolen government property built by Tim” has been meticulously flattened, folded, polished and propped with piping by the resourceful designer into Tim Delner’s street sign furniture. I particularly enjoy the witty “YIELD” message on the dining table, and “NO DUMPING” on the chair. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 87% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Upcycled Furniture:** The trend of repurposing discarded materials into stylish and modern furniture pieces. - **Witty Design:** The trend of incorporating clever and humorous messages into furniture design to create a unique aesthetic. - **Polished Industrial:** The trend of transforming industrial elements, such as street signs, into polished and refined furniture pieces. ### Where This Applies - **Interior Design:** This industry can incorporate upcycled furniture pieces into their design projects, offering sustainable and innovative options to clients. - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can tap into the trend of witty design by offering furniture and accessories that feature clever messaging. - **Urban Revitalization:** The trend of polished industrial furniture pieces can be embraced by the urban revitalization industry to enhance public spaces and bring a modern touch to city landscapes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Recycled Dynamic Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bultan-chair.md) - [Abandoned Bikes-Turned Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/objects-from-frames.md) - [Public-Oriented Furniture Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/furniture-for-public-use.md) - [Reworked Steel Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barred-collection.md) - [Fishing Container Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/common-neglect-material.md) - [Reused Skyscraper Furniture Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aged-form-line.md) - [Upcycled Plastic Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crafting-plastic.md) - [Unexpected Boundary-Pushing Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atypical-chair.md) - [Artful Wooden Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knowledge-of-all-dark-things.md)
