COMPILED BY VISI
From tiny Swedish cabins and a new Banksy to the latest adidas sneaker drop and a reconfigurable hotel, these are the top VISI picks of the week series – week 204.
1. Tiny Swedish Cabins
“These 5 m2 off-the-grid cabins by architecture studio JeanArch were created with the surrounding natural environment in mind,” says Online Editor Lindi Brownell Meiring. “According to the architects, the concept behind the design is to allow those staying there to feel closer to nature. Sounds pretty magical to me!” Here’s another experimental cabin in the wilderness to consider next, Norwegian mountain cabin.

2. MVRDV’s Reconfigurable Hotel at Dutch Design Week
“Dutch architecture studio MVRDV (who we previously featured here) has built a colourful, futuristic hotel made up of nine rooms that can be moved into different configurations for Dutch Design Week 2017,” says Content Producer Mary Garner. “This colourful, modular design is as thrilling as it is visually stimulating.”

3. Banksy’s Unofficial Collab With Basquiat
“Banksy’s latest murals recently popped up at the Barbican Centre in London,” says Art Director Anton Pietersen. “They are an ironic take on the centre’s latest exhibition of famed artist Jean-Michel Basquiat.”
4. Adidas ATRIC Drop
“ATRIC is the latest drop to come from adidas, featuring two striking new silhouettes,” says Features Editor Amelia Brown. “Jamal Nxedlana, publisher and creative director of Bubblegum Club, conceptualised the shoot to put together this cool lookbook.”
