picks of the week

COMPILED BY VISI


From designer water bottles and a car with emotional intelligence to an entire kitchen unit made from recycled bottles, these are the top VISI picks of the week series – week 166.

1. ShooShoos’ A/W 2017 Collection

“We’ve featured ShooShoos’ adorable footwear for kids as a Pick of the Week before, but we just couldn’t resist sharing their brand-new collection,” says Online Editor Lindi Brownell Meiring. “As there are over 150 new styles to choose from, it was tough to pick my favourites!”

2. Honda Emotion Engine Car

“This cute-as-a-button concept car called NeuV is equipped with an artificial intelligence system that picks up on the habits and emotions of the driver, which means it can do awesome things like detect the driver’s emotions based on their actions,” explains Freelance Junior Content Producer Cheri Morris. “It would then be able to make music recommendations based on the driver’s current mood.”

“How pretty is this kitchen unit designed by Swedish studio Form Us With Love?” says Acting Managing Editor Samantha Charles. “It’s IKEA’s first kitchen unit to be made entirely from recycled plastic bottles and upcycled industrial wood.”

5. Emirates ecoTHREAD Blankets

“If I needed another reason to give Emirates the thumbs up, the airline’s new ecoTHREAD blankets made from recycled bottles would be a good one,” says Assistant Editor Tracy Greenwood.
