PAPER TIGERS

Vidi, veni, veci is old school, so how about amass, arrange and take a seat. That is the motto of German design studio NJU who have come up with the Hockenheimer stool. With their kit you can convert your stack of magazines or newspapers into a personalised seating solution. The apparatus comprises a stand made of birch wood which is manufactured by hand in a youth workshop in Bavaria, the NJU pillow which too is handcrafted, and leather straps with buckles and rivets. So, if you want to show off your fashionista credentials, use your pile of glossies to create a chair that rocks. Alternatively, make use of the dusty encyclopaedias that will never see the light of day to put together a seat which will add old world charm to your home.
