COMPILED BY VISI
From a statement spiral staircase to an architectural see-saw installation and lamps inspired by hats, these are the top VISI picks of the week series- week 229.
1. Spiral Staircase by Williamson Williamson
“A spiral staircase can really make a statement in a space,” says Online Editor Lindi Brownell Meiring. “Designed by Williamson Williamson, this wood-clad example is such a beautiful addition to this home in Canada, fitting in naturally with the rest of the house.”
2. Modern Cat Scratchers by WISKI
“As a certified cat lady and self-professed cat expert,” says Features Editor Amelia Brown, “I can confidently say that I think this ticks all the feline-friendly boxes (and we know how cats love boxes): a cosy, safe shelter with an ample surveillance window, and a good felt-textured exterior for stretching and scratching. Plus, as carpeted cat scratch posts go, it’s easy on the eye, minimalist and chic.” Check out more stylish furniture for cats.
3. MVRDV’s SeaSaw
“Dutch architectural firm MVRDV has designed a see-saw-like art installation that allows people to move up and down from the city to the sea,” says Managing Editor Samantha Charles. “So clever!”
4. Atelier SAD and Mmcité1’s Pinecone Pavilion
“Czech designers Atelier SAD and Mmcité1 have designed a mobile pinecone-shaped gazebo that’s covered in plywood scales,” says Art Director Anton Pietersen. “I like the fact that the structure can be moved around as needed.”
5. BuzziHat Lamps
“These hat-inspired pendant lights, made from a combination of metal and upholstered foam, are designed to absorb sound,” says Content Producer Mary Garner.
