From H&M’s first collaboration with a South African label to a moon-inspired floor lamp and a paper camera, these are the VISI team’s top picks of the week.
1. BAND Collection by Patricia Urquiola
“Renowned designer Patricia Urquiola has launched a new chair collection,” says Online Editor Lindi Brownell Meiring. “Entitled BAND, the angular designs of both the dining chair and club armchair aim to challenge the sophisticated lines seen in traditional furniture design.”

3. DOTMOT Paper Camera
“This clever paper camera by Seoul-based design studio DOTMOT comes complete with interchangeable lenses and a removable flash,” says Copy Editor Kay-Ann van Rooyen. “While the model can’t actually take images, it would still be fun to construct.”
