For the next couple weeks I will be dispatching blog posts & other goodies from one of my very favorite places on earth: Tel Aviv! Thus, in celebration of all things Israeli (oh if only I could FedEx you all a portion of the local cottage cheese), behold the kickoff of Lo’s Israeli design blogathon!

With a planet that is drowning in trash and choked by pollution, any company that makes the effort to be greener gets the “We Are Good People” badge in my book. When that company manages to highlight the “eco” side of their products in a way that sparks the imagination and demonstrates how far one can go with ecologically-forward thinking, well, that warrants a big freaking gold star.

Enter Junktion. Founded last year (2008) in Tel Aviv, this think tank & home design company takes flotsam & jetsam that have fallen from grace and bestows upon them a brilliant (and often humorously useful) new purpose: electric stove burners become multi-city wall clocks, cable drums convert to rocking chairs, and plumbing parts pose as candlesticks. Read more about this fabulous company here and request product info by contacting them here!

More great Junk(tion)!
