5. Carry On by Francesco Faccin for Officinanove : “Designer wheelbarrows!” deputy editor Annemarie Meintjes practically squeals with delight. Yup, trust the Italians to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary with just a touch of panache. -
3. Form Pendants by Form Us With Love for Design House Stockholm : Managing editor Lise Avis is currently renovating, her latest focus being lighting. “These caught my eye as I have chosen something similar for my own space. Use them alone or make a collection of them with the different shapes,” she recommends. -

6. Tussi by Nitrit Levav, and Good Dog and Good Puppy by Whatshisname : “More a sh*% and giggles design if you ask me, but I love it!" grins art director Anton Pietersen. "Especially the fact that you have to step in or on the dog turd to turn the lamp on and off." -
4. Kartell Goes Bourgie by Philippe Starck : “This is what you get when you give a world-renowned designer a famous, bestselling lamp to reinterpret in celebration of its 10th birthday,” gushes features writer Debbie Loots. “Jewel-icious!” -

Ek Is Mos Van Pretoria by Bianca Potgieter for Cool Capital : Editor-in-chief Sumien Brink has made up her mind to grow her own graffiti after coming across the recipe in the latest WILD DESIGN issue of VISI.
