4. IFD 4C carbon fiber road bike by Alfa Romeo and Compagnia Ducale : “I’m all about daydreaming this week. What else can one do in this unforgiving heat?" sighs ed-at-large Malibongwe Tyilo. "My dreams are made of this bike made as a tribute to the Alfa 4C Roadster. I’ll take one in red please. Thank you.” -
2. Take Time watch by Mathieu Lehanneur for Lexon : “Nifty, beautiful and functional. I just love the simplicity and versatility of this pocket-, wrist- and even bag-watch all-in-one!” editorial and online assistant Chantel Hans is clearly impressed. -
6. Folded Tones rug by Enoch Liew : "A good rug pulls a room together, goes the cliché. But this one adds a whole new optical dimension to the floor to boot!" features and online editor Nadine Botha is utterly chuffed with her find. -
5. Lego wall calendar by Vitamins Design Studio : “Being someone who innately loves to plan and organise, this ingenious Lego calendar feels like it would make planning a lot more fun!" managing editor Lise Avis beams. "It also looks so good that the more visual team members would be happy too.” -
3. Pininfarina Cambiano inkless pen : “No it's not a stylus… The pen just got mightier," states art director Anton Pietersen. "This inkless pen - or what I call "space pen" - uses ether graph tip technology that allows it to write forever, as well as in zero-gravity conditions.” -
1. Embroidered skull from Calavera : “It's Design Indaba soon and I can’t wait to see the new range of handmade and felt-embroidered skulls by Nicole de Jager!" features writer Debbie Loots enthuses. “Check it out at the expo's new First Editions feature.”
Rev up those ocular sugar levels with the eye candy the VISI team were inspired by this week. Ranging from delicately embroidered skulls and interactive Lego calendars to sleek Alfa Romeo bicycles, there’s something for everyone. Not too mention the designer three-in-one watch, “mat-within-in-a-mat” and inkless pen – say what!? – also in the mix.
