# Street Sign Seating Transit Chairs and Tables by Boris Bally Will Give You Some Direction By Vittoria Natarelli | Published 2010-09-02 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transit-chairs-and-tables-by-boris-bally References: [plusmood](http://plusmood.com/2010/09/transit-chairs-tables-boris-bally/) & [outdoorzgallery](http://www.outdoorzgallery.com/bally_tc) The Transit Chairs and Tables by Boris Bally are made from recycled street signs. Boris’ skill as a sculptor came into play when creating these pieces because the pure lines of each chair perfectly balance out the graphics of the recycled signage. His Transit Chairs are made individually because they are based on the current signage stock, ensuring that no two chairs are alike. These Transit Chairs and Tables by Boris Bally are truly one of a kind. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Upcycling Furniture:** There is an opportunity to create unique furniture pieces by repurposing discarded objects like street signs. - **Sustainable Design:** Creating furniture pieces from recycled materials can be both environmentally friendly and profitable. - **Custom Furniture Design:** Individualized creations with unique components can command higher price points in the market. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Repurposing materials can be a disruptive innovation opportunity for companies in the furniture manufacturing industry. - **Sustainable Design Consulting:** Consultants that specialize in sustainable design could help businesses reduce their environmental impact while still creating innovative products. - **Public Infrastructure Maintenance:** Many street signs are discarded every year; companies that specialize in public infrastructure maintenance may be able to repurpose these materials in creative ways. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Waste-Incorporated Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knoll-chairs.md) - [Recycled Seating Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atlanta-airport-chairs.md) - [Unexpected Boundary-Pushing Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atypical-chair.md) - [Abandoned Bikes-Turned Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/objects-from-frames.md) - [Recycled Material Bus Seats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/isle-project.md) - [Swivelling Marbled Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/landmark-project.md) - [Upcycled CD Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-disc-chair.md) - [Chic Recycled Waste Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xox-chair.md) - [Playful Recycled Aluminum Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tuba-chair.md)
