Picks Of The Week

COMPILED BY VISI


From an opportunity to spend a night with 35 sharks and a cool new nap pod to a machine that recycles plastic, these are the top VISI picks of the week series – week 125.

1. First Underwater Airbnb

“I’d love to win Airbnb’s competition to spend the night staring at 35 sharks,” says online editor Lindi Brownell Meiring. “Located at the Aquarium de Paris, the bedroom is submerged in 3 million litres of water with 360-degree views of the shark tank. Fun!”

Deputy editor Annemarie Meintjes thinks these book ends, by designer Philipp Mainzer, are a really smart idea. “If you live in Namibia, you could use Rose Quartz or clear crystals,” she says.
