COMPILED BY VISI
From a colourful kindergarten and fun animal stools to an exotic paper bird collection and embroidered leaves, these are the VISI picks of the week series – week 221.
1. Colourful Kindergarten by KHY architects
“The bright Jaramteo Kindergarten, located in South Korea, was designed to stand out,” says Online Editor Lindi Brownell Meiring. “I love the geometric shapes used for the windows, as well as the use of cheerful, warm yellow throughout the space.”
