Design Indaba: Cape Town's "Lekker" Celebration of Creativity

Design Indaba is South Africa's premier conference bringing a who's who of design intelligence to the Western Cape. Speakers included Gary Hustwit, Bruce Nussbaum, Michael Beirut, the Bouroullec Brothers, Tord Boontje, William Drenttel and even Martha Stewart (who "copped" a lot of flack for her divatude).

Design Indaba Expo is the exhibitor program of the conference showcasing 260 local and international talent across advertising, architecture, craft, film, fashion, jewelry and product design. Some of the local township craft and student design was as sophisticated as many of the established designers and there was a strong showing of socially conscious works.
