COMPILED BY VISI
From newly launched pendant lights to Michelin-star chef Jan Hendrik’s new magazine and Afrofuturist photographer Osborne Macharia’s campaign for Foschini, these are the top VISI picks of the week series – week 231.
1. Mill Valley Cabins by Feldman Architecture
“These wooden cabins, designed by Feldman Architecture, are situated above a forest in the San Francisco Bay area,” says Assistant Editor Tracy Greenwood. “The cabins were built to be enjoyed as yoga and art studios – sounds so relaxing!”

2. Osborne Macharia X Foschini
“Renowned Kenyan photographer and Afrofuturist Osborne Macharia has teamed up with Foschini as part of the launch of the brand’s online store,” says Online Editor Lindi Brownell Meiring. “The shoot, a celebration of powerful women, focuses on three female African Superpowers, namely the Warrior, the Nurturer and the Idol. Talking about the project, Osborne says, ‘You will find women who display all three. I think this is such a powerful message. You don’t have to fall into a certain stereotype, you can enjoy life yet still be responsible, nurturing, caring and a hardcore working woman.’”
