Decorex South African Creatives Redefine Design for Social Impact
Less talk, more action! South African creatives are designing for social impact.
Amidst the vibrant realm of design, where aesthetics frequently steal the spotlight, a subtle revolution is unfolding in South Africa. It transcends the mere creation of beautiful spaces; it aspires to shape a future where design serves as a catalyst for positive societal transformation.
Highlights of this year’s shows include:
• Local initiatives: South African creatives and collectives, like Circular Squared and Pedersen + Lennard, are championing circular design and reducing plastic waste.
• Architectural impact: Urban-Think Tank Empower and The MAAK focus on spatial development for societal benefit, providing affordable housing and positive outcomes for communities.
• Multidisciplinary collaboration: The Ramp in Cape Town challenges conventional access to the arts, connecting creatives to produce impactful work.
