The quarterly Design Indaba magazine was a print magazine published from 2001 to 2011. Offering an inclusive view of design, it features disciplines from fashion, architecture and animation to product, interior, industrial and jewellery design. All magazine articles have since been made available on designindaba.com, Design Indaba's primary content platform.

The foundational purpose of Design Indaba magazine was to spread the impact and values of the Design Indaba Conference and Expo throughout the year, reaching people unable to attend, reinforcing fraternity within the creative industries as well as increasing local consumer awareness of high-quality design. Today, designindaba.com fulfils this function, even more so than the magazine was ever able due to its unlimited global reach.
