Maybe you could propose to them on how to design buildings for the Middle East. “Israeli for common sense?”

IKEA manufactures a throwaway culture. Anyone I know who cares about the planet doesn’t agree that IKEA is a sustainable company. They make junk in a box. They encourage a culture of knickknacks and design based on annual trends.
