For Junktion, the saying "one man's trash is another man's treasure" couldn't be any truer! Their furniture has been made from bathtubs, window frames, [car seats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/furniture-capsule-1) and suit-cases. Junktion furniture can be made out of practically anything. The seating arrangements made from old school desks and [chairs made of window shutters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ruffini) are quite compelling! The pieces all look relatively easy to make.
