Design Indaba Expo
See the latest on the catwalks in all-day fashion shows; attend short films, talks and product launches; be enticed to buy from more than 260 exhibitors and hobnob with the designers in person. Above all, be awed by the creative spirit of innovative South Africans.
A multi-sectoral celebration of diversity, the Design Indaba Expo includes advertising, architecture, craft, décor, film, fashion, graphic design, interior design, jewellery, new media, publishing, product design and visual media – all under the same roof. All work is conceived and manufactured in South Africa. There are no derivatives or imports at Expo.
Every one of the more than 260 exhibitors is vetted and approved by an advisory panel of top South African designers, stylists, critics and industry experts to ensure that only original, contemporary and innovative products are showcased.
The credibility of this approach to quality control is confirmed by the annual presence of over 200 prominent international buyers and influential journalists at the event.
Design Indaba is committed to the vision that a better future can be designed, and firmly believes that creativity can expand South Africa’s economy. Since its inception, the Design Indaba Expo has established itself as the premier platform for South African designers to showcase creative goods and services to the global market, wowing local consumers as well as stimulating export further afield.
Creativity that knows no bounds. This is what the Design Indaba Expo is all about.

The Design Indaba Expo takes place from 26th February to 28th February 2010 at the Cape Town International Convention Centre.
Design Indaba Expo is South Africa’s premier showcase of local design in all sectors.
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.
