Disclaimer: I am not responsible if your neighborhood’s street signs start mysteriously disappearing…
My unrequited love for re-purposed decor is further fueled by Boris Bally’s work. A talented artist who re-purposes vintage industrial elements, Boris creates interesting furniture pieces — my favorite of which come from traffic signs that were destined for the dump. Using hand-fabricated, brake formed, and riveted techniques, Boris melds artistry with expertise in crafting unique pieces of art — whether they are furniture pieces or a bathroom floor (see below). Whereas an entire dining set may be overwhelming, infusing a few pieces adds whimsy and a dash of lovely color.

Absolutely incredible – As far as the bathroom floor is concerned, I will no longer need reading material when I enter the restroom.
It is both creative and interesting. Applause.

[...] When I was a kid, I thought hanging street signs in your room was the coolest thing. Though I’m not still eager to put up a giant Stop sign, I do love what Boris Bally did with this dining room table. [...]
