COMPILED BY VISI
From a graphic courtyard and a cool local collaboration to proudly South African camera straps and a flamingo lamp that transforms itself into a table, these are the top VISI picks of the week series – week 270.
1. Confetti Courtyard by Endemic Architecture
“This site-specific installation is so bright and colourful,” says Deputy Editor Annemarie Meintjes. “I am a huge fan of the graphic shapes and contrasting colours.”

2. Yinka Shonibare Exhibition at The Norval Foundation
“The Norval Foundation Sculpture Garden has a new permanent installation, the incredible Wind Sculpture (SG) III by British-Nigerian artist Yinka Shonibare, which I can’t wait to see,” says Copy Editor Kay-Ann van Rooyen. “Another highlight of the Shonibare exhibition is his African Library, the most recent iteration of his Library series, which honours immigrants who have shaped a country’s social, political or cultural life.”

“How quirky is this flamingo lamp designed by Seol Sang Il?” asks managing editor Samantha Charles? “Better yet, it converts into a table once the lampshade has been removed. So clever!”
