<h4>Simple, rustic design fuses traditional objects with new styles</h4>
</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>The <a href="http://jordanriver.jo">Jordan River Foundation</a> has a showroom on Rainbow Street where they <em>brilliantly</em> showcase traditional, everyday objects from the region in a fresh, modern way. It&rsquo;s like someone went and replaced all the things in your grandma&rsquo;s rural kitchen with newer, brightly accented ones. All of the wood, cloth, and clay work here is produced by people in local communities, and, as far as I know, the proceeds from sales go back to supporting them.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I commend the <a href="http://www.qrf.org/">Queen Rania Foundation</a> for another seriously impressive initiative. Keep up the good work!</p>
