Design Indaba 2011 - Expo

Design Indaba Expo is a 100% local-is-lekker celebration of South Africa’s ingrained creativity. Advertising, architecture, craft, décor, film, fashion, graphic design, interior design, jewellery, new media, publishing, product design and visual media, are all presented shoulder-to-shoulder. Each of the over 260 exhibitors is evaluated and endorsed by an advisory panel of top South African designers, stylists, critics and industry experts. Setting a high curatorial standard, all products are original, contemporary and innovative, not to mention conceived and manufactured in South Africa. WHY IS THE EXPO UNIQUE?

• it is multi-sectoral, featuring advertising, architecture, craft, decor, film, fashion, graphic design, interior, jewellery, new media, publishing, product design and visual media.
• it showcases the best of local design - original, contemporary and innovative product that is quintessentially South African - no derivatives, and no imports.
• it is curated, not filled. Our advisory panel of the best South African designers, stylists, critics and industry experts, curates the Expo floor and decides who is represented there.
• in addition to encouraging exhibitors to trade directly to the South African public, we also bring out several international buyers to stimulate the export market.

The Expo runs alongside the Design Indaba Conference. The Design Indaba Expo takes place from 25th February to 27th February 2011 at the Cape Town International Convention Centre. Design Indaba 2011
