People all over the world enjoy the hobby of collecting. Just about anything can be collected. Although there are many long-established areas of collecting with their enthusiastic followers, the world of collectibles is ultimately limited only by the imagination and interest of the collector.
Hotel collectibles have always been popular because people travel widely and enjoy carrying away a souvenir from the place where they stayed. Surprisingly though, many people hardly notice the “do not disturb” signs when they walk past a hotel room door. They represent no material value compared to other hotel souvenirs.
Hotel “do not disturb” signs are undoubtedly a novelty to many. As there are only a handful of known collectors worldwide who attach a special value to these items, the website aims to show off the uniqueness and variety of this passion and give more visibility to the hobby within the collectors’ community and beyond: a sort of virtual lexicon or encyclopedia of door signs collected by two enthusiasts, one from Germany and one from Italy.
But there are other facets to this hobby – for example, the opportunity it offers to explore interesting travel destinations around the globe and to take a glimpse behind the ornate façades of some of the world’s great hotels. The website should therefore be of interest not just to collectors but also to those from the travel and hospitality industry, graphic designers, advertising and marketing professionals.
Come on in and explore this fascinating world
of “do not disturb” signs!
