Since we first featured Boris Bally’s creative street sign coasters, his designs have expanded to include dishware, cutlery, furniture and mailboxes. If you’re just looking for a little hit of street decor Bally’s hip switch plate covers add a splash of retro cool to a room.
Bally says, “Signage has become my passionate medium of choice not only because of the recycling message, but also its appeal to me as an extreme variation on the age-old tradition of enamelling.
