The Connoisseur of Hotel 'Do Not Disturb' Signs

Hobbies differ in all shapes and sizes. Some people like collecting rocks, others do origami or papier mache; some people are into simple hobbies like baking or watching movies, while others are into extreme ones like skydiving or bungee jumping. There are people with more unique hobbies such as this guy named Edoardo Flores who described himself as a retired international civil servant from Turin, Italy who has amassed a large collection of hotel ‘do not disturb’ signs. On his Flickr, there are more than 20,000 photos of these ‘do not disturb’ signs and he says that he started collecting them while on a business trip in Pakistan.

How the collection became as large as it is, he recounts that after the first sign he took home, he just found himself becoming addicted to collecting them. And it’s quite understandable as different hotels from various countries literally come in different shapes, sizes, formats, and styles. Most of them say ‘Do Not Disturb’ however, there are a few which just alludes to the fact. But each one tries to imbue a trait or characteristic into the design that is particular to the place where the hotel is located. To see some from the collection, check it out at Messy Nessy Chic.
