Foodhuggers : Mali discovered these nifty covers designed specially for preserving the half fruit and veg that spoils in your fridge. Made of silicon upper edges snuggly wrap around the food to create an airtight seal and they come in four different sizes. -
Lucite sculptures : Every now and then, VISI publisher Cat Anderson likes to reminds us that she’s a suit with a design degree. Take these geometric translucent-acrylic sculptures by artist Phillip Low she discovered. -
Yarn-bombed animals : Lisbon-based artist Joana Vasconcelos collaborated with sculptor Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro on this animal range. “I love how she challenges preconceptions around familiar objects and forms through the covering them with cotton crochet,” says Debbie. -
Textile storage : German designer Meike Harde was in our young designers round-up earlier this year and now she has awed us with these ingenious storage solutions. Said Annemarie: “The Germans, like the Japanese, teach their students to think rather than just play!” -
Luna concrete skin for iPhone : Nadine has reported on the burgeoning trend to use concrete in design before, but when a trend becomes an iPhone cover, it’s arrived! Made by Korean creative collective Posh Craft with Realize Design Studio, the texture is inspired by the moon’s surface.
Everyone has their favourite favourites. Here’s the VISI team’s pick of the week from across the world of hot designs. From a concrete iPhone cover to translucent acrylic sculptures, not to mention yarn-bombed animal sculpture, storage solutions sheathed in textiles and silicon “lids” for fresh produce, the emphasis this week seems to be unusual materials.
