At first sight, you’d probably think this one came straight out of a Middle Eastern palace belonging to some century old Emperor. Think again. It barely ever found its place in a palace before. Instead, these marquetry boxes were made from old circuit boards. Designer Theo Kamecke based in New York came up with some of these jaw dropping beautiful pieces of art that under normal circumstances would usually be made using contrasting strips of fine wood veneer for the design. Instead of using wood, Theo used the circuit board’s metal to create patterns. Symmetrically designed, these boxes are a much better way to recycle circuit boards, preventing them from meeting their doom in landfills.

They also came up with cabinets and chests, all designed similarly using circuit boards, and just as stunningly beautiful!
