COMPILED BY VISI


From a treehouse hotel nestled in a Chinese forest and a coffee-maker fit for a king to clothes so artistic you could hang them on your wall, these are the top VISI picks of the week series – week 175.

1. Treehouse Hotel 

“This 120 square metre treehouse hotel, located in China, was designed by Shanghai-based Bengo Studio,” says Online Editor Lindi Brownell Meiring. “I just want to stay here and soak in the serene surroundings.”

2. Line K Zampieri Cucine Bookcase 

“Simplistic, functional and durable,” says Editor-in-Chief Sumien Brink. “I love this free-standing bookcase, designed by Stefano Cavazzana, because it’s large enough to add dimension to a space without cluttering it.”

3. Royal Coffee Maker 

“I am a lover of both coffee and beautiful things, so when I laid my eyes on this coffee-maker it was love at first sight!” says Assistant Editor Tracy Greenwood. “Each one is handcrafted through the collaboration of metallurgists, designers, engineers and glass makers. They are made using 24k gold and a semiprecious stone base.”

4. Concrete Staircase by Smartvoll

“How stunning is this sculptured concrete staircase that was recently added to this spacious loft apartment in Salzburg?” says Acting Managing Editor Samantha Charles. “I find its smooth contours and artistic form to be a wondrous addition to this already striking space.”
