		<description><![CDATA[Reed Exhibitions confirmed that Decorex Durban will be postponed to 2021. Dates for 2021 have been confirmed as 19-22 March 2021. The decision is a result of multiple discussions with the industry as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 escalation and upon advice of local and national health authorities. In addition, the multitude of national events in the décor, design and lifestyle calendar that are planned for the latter part of the year do not favour another consumer and trade show for the industry before 2021. In the interim, digital platforms are being explored to support and connect our partners during these unprecedented times. Exhibitors and Buyers are being contacted directly and we ask them to be patient with us as we do that. Our thoughts are with everyone who has been impacted by COVID-19 and we thank all our customers and partners for their support. &#160;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Reed Exhibitions confirmed that Decorex Cape Town, originally planned for 30 April – 3 May 2020, will not be taking place this year. New dates have been confirmed for 2021 and the show will run from 16 -20 June 2021 at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC). The decision is a result of multiple discussions with the greater industry as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 escalation and upon the advice of local and national health authorities. Speaking of the decision not to run the show in 2020 once the COVID-19 outbreak has subsided, Sian Cullingworth, Portfolio Director at Decorex Africa, stated: “Decorex Africa seeks to act in the best interests of our industry and our society. While we understand the valuable role that Decorex Cape Town plays, the multitude of national events in the décor, design and lifestyle calendar that are planned for the latter part of the year do not favour another consumer and trade show for the industry before 2021. In the interim, digital platforms are being explored to support and connect our partners during these unprecedented times.” Decorex Cape Town exhibitors are being contacted directly to inform them of the cancellation.

		<description><![CDATA[Muted tones are all rage in the kitchen. Kitchens are often a very chaotic environment and trying to find some calm, is just what your kitchen space may require. Neutral tones create an atmosphere of tranquillity and peace but neutral tones in your kitchen space also make for an easily adapted space that can transform from traditional to country to contemporary.  Earth tones and the warmth of wood and stone, along with the rich patina of various metals, combine to set the harmonious mood you require. At Decorex Cape Town you can see this in action via the exciting Trend Kitchen feature, brought to you by Cosentino, that will dish up the best directional design and serve as the launching pad to showcase how you can transform your kitchen space with simple muted tones with the use of the company’s Dekton Slim line. &#160; Trend Kitchen by Cosentino The Trend Kitchen feature will highlight the best across various aspects of kitchen design – from surfaces that combine inspiration and function, to spaces that blend living and working zones into one seamless and aesthetic whole. You’ll be wowed by in-situ settings that combine flooring, worktops, lighting, splashbacks and more in layered and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cape Town is rich in creative capital – a city bursting at the seams with talent and innovation and for a décor lover, it’s a nexus of inspiration and motivation. Each year Decorex Cape Town brings together a collection of the best and boldest on the interior décor and design scene under one roof for the benefit of homemakers and industry professionals alike. There is always a plethora of exhibition stands to see and experience at the show. What’s more, the Decorex Cape Town team also selects standout interior designers and studios as special features to punctuate the event. One of these highlights is the annual Designer Spotlight, and for 2020 Ernst H Eloff takes centre stage. From humble and hands-on beginnings in Worcester – Eloff grew up on a farm where he spent a lot of time making things as a child – the designer went on to attend the Hugo Naude Arts Centre (where his final-year works were selected for an exhibition at the Iziko Museum). ‘I was immediately intrigued with the Cape Town art and design scene,’ he notes. Widening his scope further after his studies, Eloff went on to work for his grandfather’s property business doing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The South African events industry is a thriving one, with a host of events and exhibitions happening each month at exhibition venues and conference halls across the country &#8211; with each major city centre boasting showgrounds of international quality. To stand out in this cluttered terrain does require excellence – both in terms of vision and execution, and an ongoing commitment to both. It is for this reason that Decorex Africa, its national events and exhibitors, excelled at the recent AAXO Roar Awards. Held on the evening of Friday 31 January 2020, at the Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand, Johannesburg, this year’s event gathered 300 industry practitioners and guests under one roof, all dressed according to the James Bond-inspired theme: “Licence to Win”! The annual awards are administered by the Association of African Exhibition Organisers (AAXO) and are hosted together with EXSA under the Exhibition Industry Alliance (EIA) banner. ROAR is an acronym for Respect, Opportunities, Achievements and Recognition, and, according to AAXO, the “awards are aimed at acknowledging and recognising excellence in exhibition organisation.” Entries were judged on their successful exhibition strategy incorporating marketing, public relations, operations and activation. Decorex Africa and its associated exhibitors were recognised a total [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Textural surfaces, particularly walls and floors, will play a special role in interior design in 2020, says Creative Director Anita Bloom, author of the Decorex Africa Trend Report 2020 – the definitive guide to what’s in vogue. As our longing for a more tactile, less technologically invasive world grows, we’ll gravitate towards a cosier design aesthetic. This is the message delivered by Anita Bloom, Creative Director of Decorex Africa and 100% Design South Africa, in the latest Decorex Africa Trend Report 2020 – the authoritative guide to décor, interior design and lifestyle trends. The New Nordic and Contemporary Organic design styles that are likely to be in vogue next year move away from the high-gloss finishes of clinical Scandi design and adopt more textural elements in the home. These include lime-washed walls, micro-cement, wooden floors with an irregular grain, worn leather and stone. “Surfaces that fade into the background will have little appeal – we anticipate a proliferation of 3D wallpapers, 3D-effect glass and wavy surfaces that will make our living spaces more visually interesting,” says Bloom. “Marble cladding will also be popular – marble art is making a comeback, with either statement pieces or accents expected to cause a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A leading Durban interior designer driven by the satisfaction of his clients, Frans Alexander of Frans Alexander Interiors describes himself as a perfectionist: ‘I’m driven by the result and outcome of each project. Knowing that I have achieved the desired emotion is what pushes me to ensure every one of my clients’ experiences the sense of joy design can bring!’ Frans Alexander Interiors was founded in 2002 and the company works across Residential, Hospitality and Commercial projects. All projects tend to be led by a feeling, an ethos, rather than an aesthetic. ‘I believe that the key to each successful interior lies in the details and it’s there where I like to invest a lot of effort in order to achieve a well-executed space. The small details are what elicit an emotional response from a space,’ he notes. Over and above his own vision however, the designer aims with each project to reflect the client’s own viewpoint. ‘The goal is to create a space which is unique and reflects the homeowner’s personality, but one that is also functional, timeless and comfortable,’ he says. The satisfaction that comes from a job well done is something that inspires and motivates Frans Alexander [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Read this before you settle on a home redecorating plan! Anita Bloom, Creative Director for Decorex Africa, unpacks some of the trends of 2020 and reveals how we can transform our living spaces this year. Get back to nature with Contemporary Organic style A major trend coming to our shores is the Contemporary Organic style, which uses natural materials alongside contemporary lines. We’ll opt for cosy, tactile spaces that reference natural elements – think wooden floors, burnt timber cladding, textured stone, feathers, indoor plants, even dried branches. “We’re moving away from sleek materials and sharp architectural lines as ultra-modern design adopts softer, more texturally rich touches: furniture with sensual forms or timber with an irregular grain,” says Bloom. Get the look: Furniture made of unrefined natural materials will be popular – think rustic stools and seating sculptures – along with handcrafted rugs and fabrics. “Fireplaces are back and they bring flickering light and undeniable cosiness to living rooms, as do table lamps, candles and lanterns,” says Bloom. Make multifunctional furniture a focal point With the world ever more chaotic, many of us are living, working and playing in the cosy space in which we feel safest. Our homes will reflect [...]]]></description>
