# Deliberately Unfinished Furniture Projects People Can Finish Qiang Huang's Furniture with Bikes By Kalin Ned | Published 2019-07-29 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unfinished-furniture-project References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2019/07/21/qiang-huang-bike-scavengers-furniture/) & [qiangxhuang](https://www.qiangxhuang.com/) Incredibly interesting is Qiang Huang's unfinished furniture project. The Central Saint Martins graduate seeks to engage the public and also find a solution for the surplus of discarded shared bikes in the city. The unfinished furniture project has been given the name 'Bike Scavenger.' Qiang Huang builds the base silhouettes of a bench, a trolley, a lamp, and a stool. To finish the job, people need to find specific bike components, "transforming the salvaged parts into usable products." This initative is a design-forward concept that allows for citizens to address the magnanimous surplus of bikes that have been leftover from the "explosion of cycle-sharing schemes in urban centers around the world." In addition to the 'clean-up,' one can enjoy some interesting statement furniture. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Unfinished Furniture Projects:** Opportunity for consumers to customize and personalize furniture, adding value and uniqueness to their home decor. - **Bike Scavenging:** Opportunity to repurpose discarded bike parts into functional and stylish furniture pieces, promoting sustainability and recycling. - **Design-forward Concept:** Opportunity to create innovative and artistic furniture designs that engage users and tell a story through unconventional materials and construction methods. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Manufacturers can offer unfinished furniture options and provide resources for customers to customize their purchases. - **Sustainable Design:** Companies can explore sustainable design practices by using discarded bike parts, reducing waste and promoting environmental consciousness. - **Sharing Economy:** Opportunity for bike-sharing companies to collaborate with furniture designers to repurpose surplus bikes into trendy furniture pieces, creating additional revenue streams. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Broken Bike Lock Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/people-and-places.md) - [Transforming Furniture Bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outlaw-bike.md) - [Junkyard-Inspired Art Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junkyard-diving.md) - [Leftover Wood-Constructed Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alexander-lervik-1.md) - [DIY Bicycle Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-wooden-bicycle.md) - [Sustainable Sawmill Modular Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-betula-project.md) - [3D-Printed Bioplastic Reparation Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/furniture-first-aid.md) - [Public-Oriented Furniture Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/furniture-for-public-use.md) - [City-Honoring Furniture Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/symbiotic-urban-furniture-project.md)
