Decorex Cape Town brings you a unique blend of the emerging
and the established, manufacturers and suppliers – large and small. Trade
professionals and consumers can indulge in the haute and the handmade; the
new simple and the avant-garde. The show promises to be a celebration of
Cape Town’s most delicate and daring spaces by talented style shapers,
trend makers and décor creators.
In the Sanlam, thinking ahead with the next generation style
shapers competition, Sanlam and Decorex SA track down a talented brigade
of emerging young designers and decorators shaking up the norms. With the
theme ‘Delicate & Daring’ as their design cue, these style shapers play
with a blank canvas and transform an empty shell to a ‘Home to the New’.

Each stand in the Sanlam Dream Rooms, a special salon devoted to dream
interiors, is transformed into a fantasy setting of design elements and
new ideas. This exquisite collection of high-end décor brands, lifestyle
stores, fabric houses and interior decorators merges trends, palettes,
materials and patterns with a contemporary edge. These inspirational
concept stands bring new benchmarks in interior design, which can be
translated freely in the visitor’s own decorating style.
A carefully selected group of items from the dti’s South
African Handmade Collection will be on display, ranging from baskets woven
from grass or recycled plastic, high-design hand made ceramic gallery
pieces to functional ware showing the mark of its maker. This project
brings the crafter a step closer to becoming a successful local
entrepreneur and exporter.
The Plascon nature-inspired Colour Forecast for 2009 lifts
the lid on the hip and trendy colours for the year at a stand designed by
Yolande Wieners. This definitive colour-collection introduces 32 new
colours in four palettes within the natural theme: air, water, fire &
earth.
In step with the show theme ‘New Fusion’, the new SABC3
LifeStyle Theatre blends the best pastimes: food talks, designer-diy and
hands-on workshops. Get clued up with the latest in home and food
fashion, as well as the low-down on the hottest make-it-yourself projects.
