So, what can you expect from Design Indaba this year?
- More than 80 new exhibitors from various sectors.
With just over 210 confirmed exhibitors, of which almost 25% are showing their designs for the first time, Design Indaba Expo 2012 is proof of the wide-ranging creative prowess of South African designers across various fields, including craft, product design furniture, jewellery, fashion, film, publishing, new media, architecture and graphic design.
