Picks of the Week

COMPILED BY VISI


From an unlikely, yet beautiful bank installation and a 3D printed clutch inspired by a city to a chair that is grown and not made, these are the top VISI picks of the week series – week 165.

1. DEM inc. Wildlife Bank Installation 

“What better way to take the boring out of trips to the bank than with an amazingly immersive wildlife installation like this one done for a Taipei bank,” says Assistant Editor Tracy Greenwood.

“After visiting the birthplace of Picasso, Spanish graffiti artist Belin added a cubist twist to his hyper-realistic murals,” says Online Editor Lindi Brownell Meiring. “I think his work is fascinating.”

5. Gavin Munro’s Grown Furniture

“Instead of growing trees and chopping them up in order to make chairs, Grown Furniture came up with the unique idea to cut out the wasteful process and grow the chair quite literally from from seed to sitting,” says Freelance Junior Content Producer Cheri Morris.

7. Copper Globes by Luke Calder 

“There is just something so gorgeous about the minimalism and the lack of borderlines and words on these copper-plated globes,” says Account Manager Cecilia du Plessis. “The designer wanted to trigger an appreciation for the world as a whole and I think we need to do more of that.”
