Do you have a ton of old magazines or newspapers lying around? Well, you are probably a hoarder, but here is some good news. You can put those old magazines to good use and turn them into a stool with the Hockenheimer Magazine Stool.

While there’s no shrink ray in existence as of yet, scientists are hard at work at making magazines available for us, just in case we ever get down to the micrometer scale. In fact, a laboratory in Switzerland has managed to print an image so small that you could fit over 2,000 of them onto a single grain of salt. 

I firmly believe in digital formats, and as such, I actually haven’t had a TV in a decade.

Washington DC artist and die-hard Nintendo fanboy Chris Lange handcrafts these colorful gaming collages from old Nintendo Power magazines, so he’s not lying when he states that they’re “100% Nintendo”. Pictured here are several works which Lange has previously completed, but each piece is custom made based on subject matter of your choice.
