Design Indaba 2012

Over the last few years the South African design Indaba has made an incredibly popular name for itself, and what was once visited by the amateur designers who wished to one day be a part of it and the select view who could pass opinion on each designer, is now one of Cape Town's most popular annual exhibitions and events.

Last year, Cape Town was voted as 2014's design capital - a title and award which will no doubt expose itself to prove just why the talented locals in the Mother City led the city to gain it. The combination of the designers, their pieces, the Indaba as a whole and the people who choose to visit it will express South Africa's true vibrancy and unique talents.

This year we can look forward to an extra 1000 square meters of the Design Indaba which will be dedicated to hosting more local designers than usual. Designers will have the opportunity to present their portfolios, show their abilities and to sell items to the public. They'll also be able to interact with the public directly; removing the online platforms or shops which host their collections from coming in between their direct interaction with the public.

This year, one of the slogans attached to the Indaba is: "Take home the best of South African creativity at DI2012 - a trip to the Cape Town International Convention Centre during the first weekend of March will enable you to do just that.
