Royally save resources with Green Queen’s eco friendly design products.
Green Prophet has encountered several green royals over the past few years, between Jordan’s Queen Rania helping organic farmers and lobbying for environmental education, and H.E. Sheikh Abdulaziz Al Nuaimi (aka The Green Sheikh) penning a monthly column for this very site. But there’s a new eco-royal on the Middle Eastern scene in the form of the “Green Queen” – a new eco design studio in northern Israel started by Revital and Ruth, two former stage designers. According to these ladies, every object in their studio (including the upcycled cloth necklace above) “has a story, and each item was examined by the Queen personally. Only when we realize that the object meets our ecological and aesthetic standards does the queen grant her royal eco signal.”
This Green Queen, who enjoys the good life, nevertheless demonstrates “environmental responsibility and consumerist maturity.” In that vein, she established a “kingdom of quality design products, with a high level of finish and artistry.”
And what do Revital and Ruth say? That they “create magical objects out of ecological intention and awareness… out of respect for the material, form, consumer, and resources all over the world.”
So far the Green Queen (who just launched online a few weeks ago) has stamped her approval on upcycled cloth necklaces, repurposed cloth lamp shades, handmade pillows, and chic multi-use (and dishwasher friendly) bamboo dishes.
Coming soon to her line of green design products will be recycled paper craft kits for kids, scented mobiles for kid’s rooms, and other products that are, as the Queen puts it, “all shades of green.”

Much to the disappointment of her Moroccan grandmother, Karen became a vegetarian at the age of seven because of a heartfelt respect for other forms of life. She also began her journey to understand her surroundings and her impact on the environment. She even starting an elementary school Ecology Club and an environmental newsletter in the 3rd grade. (The proceeds of the newsletter went to non-profit environmental organizations, of course.) She now studies in New York. Karen can be reached at karen (at) greenprophet (dot) com.
