The phrase “think outside the box” is often overused in creative circles. For those of us in the industry, it’s already what we do daily. But what if we pushed even further – to think outside the outside of the box?
In the latest VISI issue, we showcase architects who’ve done exactly that. From @meshworks.archi’s rammed-earth home in Johannesburg to @kaa_architects’ Sea Point penthouse-meets-superyacht, these projects redefine boundaries. We also highlight the international impact of South African creatives, like @tash_mjo’s Dolce&Gabbana collaboration and @muholizanele’s Tate Modern exhibition.

Huge shoutout to our video agency team, Reddish Blue, for creating this incredibly relatable and authentic mini documentary focused on mental health. Featuring @emberoakcpt chef @cheftimpick and his wife, @judypick, who manages the front of house, it’s a powerful reminder of the human spirit behind opening and running a restaurant.
🎥✨ Stories that matter are at the heart of what we do. If you haven’t watched this one yet, now’s the time to see why it’s resonating so deeply with so many – at the link in our bio.

It’s always special to see young people grow and level up within the Purple family – and that extends to our wonderful interns. Meet Neyani, Tyrese and Sive, who share what it’s like being fresh to our industry. They give great advice to other youth – but also wonderful perspective for those of us who may have forgotten why we started this marketing journey in the first place. See what they had to say in our Youth Day video.

At New Media, we get up to 24 hours of CSI leave to give back to our community. Recently, a team of Purple People brought that spirit to life by volunteering on @ilisocaresociety founder Mama Vivian’s farm in Philippi. 💜
It was a day of hard work – cutting fences, clearing land and even shovelling buckets of cow manure! But through the sweat, they lightened the load for Iliso and learnt so much about the farm and how different soils affect our food.
We’re so proud of this crew for putting in the work and making a difference!

Chefs spend long hours on their feet, so they need footwear that offers both comfort and durability. This partner content for @eatoutguide – created by New Media’s video agency, Reddish Blue – uses clever storytelling to showcase why Birkenstock is the chef’s choice.

This Heritage Month, we celebrate the diversity of our #PurplePeople. Let us know in the comments about the traditions that are important to you!
VISI 120 includes design trends from the Maison&Objet 2022 fair in Paris, some uniquely designed local winter getaway spots, and new trends in retro tiles and textile art.
Editor Steve Smith says his favourite feature is the new Liquid range that UK designer Tom Dixon has done for VitrA. “It’s his first-ever bathroom collection and is such a cool and clever mix, with nods to Victorian sanitaryware and elements of pop art. It’s playful and fun yet timeless and traditional too.”
