Murilee Meets MoMA: Junkyard As Art
The sink itself is a recycled oil sump
Israeli artist Ronen Wasserman turned recycling into an art form. Literally. For the Ronmen TinMan design studio, Wasserman creates on-off furniture pieces from recycled car parts. Says TinMan in its mission statement:
A peaceful use
“To promote awareness of smart consumption habits and maximize the resources at hand, we use parts of cars and motorcycles found in junkyards, and transform them into functional, useful products that are used daily.”
“Doing so, we infuse these parts with a second life, while preserving a hint of their glamorous automotive history.”

Stuff like this would be awesome for the garage; I especially like the sink.
To condense further: MuMa Meets MoMa. They shall go further as they saw the possibilities we did not. I know I'm not the only one who'd like to see that Toyota wardrobe repurposed as a refrigerator, though I'd prefer a gas-fired cooling system for portability.
