The transit sign trend has finally made its way onto furniture: These leather wingback chairs from Sydney design company Davidmet Nicole have been upholstered with authentic vintage English and Australian bus scroll signs.
They're a mere £3,995 apiece (about $6,083) from London's Atelier Abigail Ahern (where the red turned-wood side table also pictured above is a relative bargain at £1,500, or about $2,284).

Cool Stuff: Vintage British Bus Signs at Eden & Eden
In keeping with my recent fixation on the iconography of mass transit (see previous examples here, here, and here), I'm digging these large framed sections from vintage London bus rolls. Above: No. 460
No. 611

Simple, bold, a graphic -- love 'em! They're $38 to $68 each from San Francisco's Eden & Eden.
