Design Week South Africa
A novel platform for South Africa’s creative industries to showcase, inspire and prosper, the first Design Week South Africa showcase will take place in Johannesburg from Thursday 10 October to Sunday 13 October and in Cape Town from Thursday 24 October to Sunday 27 October.
Proudly powered by Yoco, the event will bring a curated calendar of events and immersive experiences that will showcase the future of South African design through knowledge-sharing, inclusivity and support. Design Week South Africa will also serve as a platform for making and creating connections, jumpstarting collaborations and cultivating the next generation of creative leaders.
“I have had the privilege of a career spent contributing towards, promoting and engaging with our local creative community. With an abundance of skills, opportunities, and energy at our disposal, I am excited to embark on a new role where I can help to create a platform that showcases forward-thinking design that is inspirational, educational, sustainable and economically viable for all who engage in it,” says Design Week South Africa founder, Margot Molyneux.
With a host of exciting workshops, exhibitions, engaging discussions, interactive installations, performances, showroom experiences, food and drinks activations, exciting collaborations, product launches, walkabout tours and open studios across all design disciplines on the roster, visitors can look forward to an exciting and engaging celebration of creativity and local talent.
“Our purpose at Design Week South Africa is to encourage and showcase innovative creativity, expanding local design appreciation, and positively influencing our communities. Whether it be interior, product or furniture design, landscape or urban planning, the act of creative thinking can be a game changer – and we’re here to engage with it, witness exciting projects like this one, and ultimately celebrate it all,” says Molyneux.
