Bear witness to what real African décor looks like
Gone are the days of being subjected to incorporating African décor as seen fit by overseas designers – what do they know about African style anyway? With the first Decorex exhibition in Durban giving as a sneak peek, Cape Town can expect to see African traditional and contemporary style being redesigned in the brand-new Trend Pods. Leveraging a designated place to show-off African style imagined by Africans. According to Sian Gutstadt, Portfolio Director of Decorex, the aim of the Trend pods installations is to, “draw on the organic glamour of Africa, but reinterpret it to display both an edgy now-ness of form and an ancient handling of materials.”
100% Design will bring 100% class to Decorex Cape Town
As 100% Design South Africa runs in collaboration with Decorex Cape Town, they will set the stage with their 100% textiles showcase and no doubt bring an army of eager fabric enthusiasts. The showcase consists of four components, such as Picture Africa that will boast a beautiful clash between the art of photography and textiles, where you’ll see a mashup of South African studio photography with a backdrop of vibrant textiles that simply jump off the canvas.
