COMPILED BY VISI
From a getaway spot in Australia to a cherry blossom tree built from LEGO and a cocoon lounge set by Kevin Haviid and Martin Kechayas, these are the VISI picks of the week series – week 233.
1. JR’s Hut at Kimo Estate
“This JR Hut in Gundagai, Australia was designed by Anthony Hunt Design and Luke Stanley Architects,” says Content Producer Mary Garner. “Inspired by the classic A-frame cabin, this little abode allows guest to escape from modern distractions.”

2. LEGO Cherry Blossom Tree
“This beautiful LEGO replica of a cherry blossom tree, built at LEGOLAND Japan, is made up of 881 470 bricks and took over 6 500 hours to build,” says Online Editor Lindi Brownell Meiring. “I just wish I could go and see it in person.”

5. Cocoon Lounge by Kevin Haviid and Martin Kechayas
“These modernist 1960s-inspired lounge chairs by Danish design duo Kevin Haviid and Martin Kechayas perfectly blend wood, rattan and all-purpose coolness,” says Features Editor Amelia Brown. “They’re kind of like grown-up, chic Mose’s basket-cocoons and all I want to do is curl up with a book in one of them.”
