		<description><![CDATA[Luckily, South Africa is blessed with epic, world-class tourist destinations, the kind that attracts a steady flow of foreign travelers under “normal” circumstances. Fortunate locals are spoilt for choice when it comes to planning a local breakaway. One such famed attraction is South Africa’s verdant Garden Route – a spectacular stretch of coastline on the eastern shores of the country that is peppered with must-see sights and hotspots. Spectacular views, misty indigenous forests, nature reserves, seaside resorts offering excellent cafés, curio shops, and fresh seafood, and a wide selection of outdoor adventure activities, are just a few of the reasons this east coast trail is so well-loved. The charming coastal towns of Plettenberg Bay, Knysna, Wilderness and Sedgefield are all a short drive from George Airport, approximately six hours drive from Cape Town and twelve hours drive from Johannesburg &#8211; perfect for a long weekend or an extended stay. But the veritable jewel in the Garden Route crown is undoubtedly Plettenberg Bay, affectionately known as “Plett”. It is not hard to understand why, thanks to Plett’s incredible natural surroundings, beautiful and pristine beaches, plentiful marine life, leisure pursuits, adventure activities, wildlife sanctuaries and luxury accommodation destinations. When staying in Plett, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What are the hottest décor, interior design and lifestyle trends for 2020? Creative Director Anita Bloom reveals all in the Decorex Africa Trend Report 2020 – the definitive guide to what’s in vogue. After years of enjoying industrial, Nordic and navy design trends, be prepared for a shift towards something more eclectic – the coexistence or unification of different styles that reflect good taste and personality. This is the message delivered by Anita Bloom, the Creative Director for Decorex Africa and 100% Design South Africa, in the latest Decorex Africa Trend Report 2020 – the authoritative guide for the creative industries.

The broad themes emphasised in the report will be featured in the Mobelli Furniture + Living Trend House – Urban Living by Design, Insta-Interiors and Trend Installation as well as pop-up restaurants, cafés and feature areas at each show. Bloom, who authored the report, ran her own design studio, Just Bloom Designs, before moving to Inspire Trade Expo for four years [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Work Shop New Town, the fashion, lifestyle and design retail concept that opened at the end of 2015, has paved the way for 16 South African designers and African design stores to open their first-ever retail spaces, and an additional 11 designers to debut in Johannesburg. One such designer is Laduma Ngxokolo, whose brand, MaXhosa by Laduma, recently scooped the Most Beautiful Object In South Africa Award at Design Indaba, for the versatility of his black and white shawl. With another fashion piece currently on show at New York’s Cooper Hewitt Design Triennial, titled ‘Beauty’, Work Shop New Town is proud to be home to this multi-award-winning brand’s only retail outlet in the country. Located in the historical Potato Sheds, which were an integral part of Johannesburg’s industrial boom in the early 1900s, Work Shop New Town strives to recreate the commercial hub of the past by offering local brands such as MaXhosa by Laduma the platform to grow a new audience in the City of Gold. “Work Shop New Town has afforded us the ideal springboard to launch our luxury leather goods brand into the Jozi marketplace,” says Wade Ross Skinner, founder of Wolf &#38; Maiden, a brand with an already strong following in Cape Town. “Being located [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The rise of the customized motorcycle is the rise of personal freedom. The machine beckons as one of the last bastions of liberty in an over-regulated, demanding world of “always on” connections, CCTV cameras and facial recognition software. The open road pulls; the cellular towers recede, and the supercharged joy of adrenalin follows. The machine itself – defined by choice and formed by a craftsman’s talents &#8211; is an object of beauty. The ride, poetry in petrol… You’d be forgiven for thinking this to be the superlative experience. But now add coffee. Aromatic, artisanal coffee with a well-designed roast profile, ground just moments before being brewed into a deep brown with a heady crema… You’re feeling it, right? This powerful combination of pleasures has seen motorcycles and café culture gain ground as a global lifestyle direction. Countries and places such as Australia, Bali, Los Angeles and Milan boast go-to hotspots for all things bike and barista. The renowned BMW Welt in Munich, for instance, is a prime example of a world leader in this space. With Cape Town being the international hub that it is, this new “biker chic” trend has naturally made itself known, placing the Mother City on [...]]]></description>
