Egyptian sustainability innovators Reform Studio has been named Decorex Cape Town&#8217;s Designer of the Year, while globally renowned Nigerian-born architect and designer Charles O Job takes the title for Decorex Joburg. The announcement comes as Decorex Africa releases its highly anticipated 2025 State of the Industry Report, revealing a sector characterised by resilience and innovation despite economic challenges.
