Reed is the world’s leading event organiser, hosting over 500 events in 30 countries, including premium design and decor fairs such as Maison & Objet Paris, Wohnen and Interieur Austria and Design Tokyo, and as one of its many high-end offerings, 100% Design South Africa benefits from an international standard of production and global renown.
For 2019, 100% Design South Africa presents a line-up that bursts with the brilliance of rising stars placed alongside stalwarts of the South African design landscape; all of whom will exhibit existing ranges and launch new products on show-stopping display stands.
100% Design South Africa’s Creative Director, Laurence Brick comments: ‘The show is a catalyst for creativity as much as it’s a platform for it, and over the years a huge selection of new pieces has been launched.’
Attendees can also look forward to six all-new curated features showcasing industry heavyweights such as John Vogel, Haldane Martin and Tracy Lee Lynch. Furthermore, 100% Design South Africa is excited to announce that Laduma Ngxokolo of MaXhosa has been chosen as the 2019 Feature Designer of the Year, thanks to the launch of his new interior line.
