From bold prints inspired by public transport upholstery and a striking piece by Douglas & Company to Christopher Jenner’s new silverware range and a happy London installation, these are the VISI team’s top picks of the week.
1. Menja Stevenson’s German Transport-inspired Patterns
“I know some people may think these are hideous, but I think that they are seriously cool,” says Content Producer Michaela Stehr. “Creating fashion with the patterns people see everyday is cutting edge and relevant.”

2. AHEC, Alison Brooks Architects and Arup Collaboration: The Smile
“This urban installation is fascinating,” says Features Editor Tracy Greenwood. “The Smile showcases the structural and spatial potential of cross-laminated timber, using American tulipwood.”
