Design Joburg continues to create a rare opportunity: connecting brands with some of the country’s most celebrated designers. These leading lights curate inspired spaces at our show, using products sourced from both local and global companies.
We’ve called the result our CoLabs – original collaborations that allow for experimentation, invention and creativity.
This pioneering approach has resulted in highly innovative room sets, elegantly updating the traditional notion of an exhibition. Visitors left truly inspired! Here, we explore three of these collaborations…
Collaboration has always been a major focus for Design Joburg and May 2022 was no different. Just one of the exciting partnerships you didn't want to miss - interior designer Heather Boting and the team from Acre Studio created a ‘Kalahari Dawn’ themed space for visitors to immerse themselves in.
Picture yourself basking in the dulcet warmth and subtle, earthy tones of the early morning sunshine and you’ll get a sense of how their stand was planned. This mood further conveyed through a ceiling installation of cascading folds of linen that cues awakening, hope and possibility. Here, you were able to explore brand new furniture designs from Acre Studio whose pieces evoke a sense of stripped back luxury. In addition, their sharply curated display of handcrafted homeware pieces including ceramics, candles, scatter cushions, trays, napkins and more from top SA makers were not to be missed.
