		<description><![CDATA[- By Kathy Berman - In a week when South Africans were focusing on church congregants rising from the dead – or not – the 2019 Design Indaba Conference, at the Artscape Theatre in Cape Town to Friday 1 March 2019, dished up everything from seaweed packaging and biodegradable coffins, to living cyborgs, and a pile of offerings that certainly challenged traditional imaginations. Much more than an esoteric mingling of aesthetes and hipsters, this annual celebration of global innovation once more focused on the art of the possible and the interrogation of the improbable &#8211; including up-cycling, re-cycling, re-use, and down-cycling. While South Africans still debate what to do with that ubiquitous ‘National Flower’, (in the words of former Environment Minister Mohamed Valli Moosa), the plastic carrier bag, and other petroleum-derived, non-degradable plastic products that pollute our land and seas, inventor/designer/architect/engineer, Rodrigo Garcia Gonzalez showcased his sea-weed-derived plastic substitute – edible and biodegradable. Gonzalez’ Skipping Rocks Lab has evolved a commercial and sustainable solution to the global pandemic of plastic packaging – manufactured from farmed and upcycled seaweed &#8211; suitable for everything from foodstuffs to cosmetics. Clear, taste-less, bite-sized capsules of water were on offer for delegates to pop into their mouths, chew on, and swallow. Skipping Rocks has commercialized their ‘ooho!’ product [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two years ago IKEA teamed up with a group of designers, architects, artists and creatives from five African countries to collaborate around modern urban rituals and the importance they play in the home. The result is the limited-edition collection ÖVERALLT, which will be launched on 27th February 2019 at the place where it all started – Design Indaba Festival in Cape Town.   The journey of ÖVERALLT started with IKEA wanting to learn more about the contemporary African design scene and the creative explosion that can be seen in several cities around Africa. Ten designers, all connected to the South African multi-faceted platform Design Indaba and its network, teamed up with five IKEA designers.   The starting point was to explore modern urban rituals connected to socializing around food, indoor and outdoor living, the rituals around expressing identity and sustainability. From there, the design and development process has resulted in a collection of products that is all about building bridges and discovering the “urban living room” together with others.   “With ÖVERALLT, we want to encourage and trigger people to come together and eat, share stories, be creative and spend time with one another. And, thanks to the merging of creatives and all the good discussions we’ve had along the way, each design has a way of supporting that. ÖVERALLT is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Each year as part of the larger festival and conference programme, Design Indaba showcases the country’s top young Emerging Creatives, supported by the Department of Arts and Culture. With 50 finalists chosen from around the country, spanning a range of disciplines – from fashion and furniture, to art and architecture, branding and product design &#8211; Emerging Creatives is a launch platform for future local design stars. “We believe in the creative potential and excellence that our country has to offer. We are honoured to continue being a part of the Emerging Creatives programme in 2019,” says Masana Chikeka of the Department of Arts &#38; Culture. The programme was established in 2005 out of a strong belief in the importance of nurturing new creative talent and minimising the barriers to entry for young entrepreneurs. In the last 14 years, Emerging Creatives has helped to launch the careers of numerous celebrated local designers including Laduma Ngxokolo of MaXhosa by Laduma and renowned ceramicist Andile Dyalvane, and more recently fashion designer Rich Mnisi, multi-disciplinary artist Atang Tshikare and Kim and Natalie Ellis from The Joinery. “It really is a great opportunity to gain experience, exposure, prospective clients and to meet fellow creatives who are at a similar stage in their careers,” says artist, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Global advertising superstar David Droga will take centre stage at the renowned Design Indaba Conference, running from Wednesday 27 February to Friday 01 March 2019 in Cape Town, South Africa. Droga is the founder and chairman of Droga5, a multiple award-winning agency based in New York, USA, that ranks among the top ten advertising and marketing companies in the world. Droga himself is the advertising industry’s most awarded creative, having scooped the highest number of awards of any creative at the Cannes Lions festival. For the role he has played in elevating the stature of brands like Google, Under Armour, The New York Times and Chase (one of the US’s largest banks), Droga became the youngest ever recipient of the 2017 Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity’s Lion of St. Mark, the festival&#8217;s award for outstanding contribution to the creative industry. Droga is lauded as much for his craft, work ethic and leadership as he is for his loyalty, sincerity and willingness to take calculated risks.  He states, “When your peers think you are great, you are good.
