Design Indabar comprises two shipping containers that open up using hydraulic technology. Presented by Grolsch as a testimony to their spirit of unconventional creative and independent thinking, one container hosts a bar while the other serves as a multi-functional mobile gallery. Designed by Fly Pitcher in collaboration with Design Indaba, the interior and exterior surfaces of the Design Indabar can be used to project art, film, design and the like.

Part bar, part art installation, Design Indabar represents the originality and creativity of both the Grolsch and Design Indaba brands. The portable bar was built as an extension of the creativity showcased by the Design Indaba wherever it is held throughout the country. Grolsch, the Dutch beer brand, was the ideal partner for the concept, lending its independent and imaginative essence to the Design Indabar.

From Cape Town to Kimberly to Durban, Soweto and beyond, the Design Indabar presented by Grolsch will soon be embarking on a nationwide tour. Bringing the best in South African creativity and innovation to a location near you. This fun and unusual pop-up bar will help to spread Design Indaba’s belief that a better world is possible through creativity.
