PLANETWORLD: Experience The Ultimate In Smart South African Living

Experience the ultimate in smart South African living at PLANETWORLD VIEWING ROOMS in Kramerville, Johannesburg — where global audio-visual and automation technology comes together with leading South African design to amplify the experience of the modern smart home.

In May 2022, multi-brand audio-visual distributors Planetworld join forces with South African designer furniture collective Always Welcome to launch the Viewing Rooms — a ground-breaking new showroom partnership that brings together cutting-edge technology, sound and local design in the heart of the Kramerville Design District.

Featuring industry leading audio-visual brands from across the globe, our Viewing Rooms unfold across almost 700 square meters of residentially inspired indoor and outdoor spaces to tell a story of the South African home of the future.

Featuring 3 immersive home cinemas, various smart lounges, dining spaces, bedrooms, offices, listening rooms and arguably Johannesburg’s most beautiful bar and entertainment space, our Viewing Rooms promise to redefine the showroom of the future.

Beautifully furnished by the iconic ranges of over 30 of South Africa’s leading furniture and product designers including familiar favourites like Dokter and Misses, Haldane, Houtlander, Mash T Studio, Joe Paine, and The Urbanative, our Viewing rooms also provide a user-friendly platform for the homeowner, interior designer, architect or design enthusiast to explore the world of South African design in an interactive space that forges new connections between smart living and award-winning local design.
