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. Decorex Designers of the Year 2025 From award-winning eco-friendly innovations to preserving thousand-year-old crafts and empowering underprivileged communities, Reform Studio&#8217;s remarkable trajectory has positioned it as one of Egypt&#8217;s most dynamic creative forces.

Falling under this year’s theme of Designing For Impact, the Decorex Africa team is urging local talents to come up with a recycling bin that is not only functional, but also a visually appealing piece of art that homeowners are proud to display. The most inspiring responses will be exhibited at this year’s shows in Cape Town and Joburg. The invitation from Decorex Africa to design, or commission the design of, such a recycling bin is an opportunity to create something that transcends mere utility into a product that changes behaviour, and makes recycling an effortless and integrated part of daily life. ‘As we stand at a crossroads where creative talents can significantly impact the future of the planet, it&#8217;s time to channel ingenuity beyond the realms of conventional home furnishings &#8211; beyond another chair, couch, or sideboard &#8211; towards a cause that can alter the course of environmental conservation in South Africa: a simple recycling bin,’ says Decorex Africa’s Executive Creative Director Bielle Bellingham. ‘This isn&#8217;t just about creating [...]]]></description>
