COMPILED BY VISI
From an incredible leisure complex in Seoul and fun balloon art to minimalist cutlery and a whistling jug, these are the top VISI picks of the week series – week 251.
1. The Imprint by MVRDV
“Dutch design firm MVRDV (previously featured here) has completed a new leisure complex in Seoul called The Imprint,” says Online Editor Lindi Brownell Meiring. “So many things stand out, from the design of the gold entrance, which makes the building look as though part of it is being lifted up to the use of colour as shadow. I think it’s spectacular.”

2. The Skeleton Cutlery Collection by nendo
“I adore how nendo has reduced the composition of cutlery to the absolute bare minimum,” says Content Producer Michaela Stehr. “There is even a nifty slit for easy hanging and drying.”

5. RYK Adaptable Sofa by Sandra K.B. Mikkelsen
“I want one of these RYK adaptable sofas, designed by furniture and interior design student Sandra K.B. Mikkelsen, in my living room,” says Art Director Lené Roux. “To be able to switch up your cushions to suit your mood is so clever.”
