Design Indaba magazine is like no other publication on earth – not because it is the Design Indaba Conference and Expo carrier pigeon, nor because it is birthed in Africa; not even because it opens its pages to everything from fashion, architecture, graphics and animation to product, interior, industrial and jewellery design.

See, besides championing South African creativity, sharing big-name international expertise and proffering an inclusive view of a better world by design, Design Indaba magazine takes the very paradigm of magazines beyond the shelf.

Breaking all the rules it can lay its hands on, each edition is an artwork in itself, with no two issues alike. From setting the cover alight to recycling it, not to mention binding the magazine on the side or printing it upside down – no wonder it has become a collector’s item.
