WHY IS THE EXPO UNIQUE?

• it is multi-sectoral, featuring advertising, architecture, craft, decor, film, fashion, graphic design, interior, jewellery, new media, publishing, product design and visual media.
• it showcases the best of local design - original, contemporary and innovative product that is quintessentially South African - no derivatives, and no imports
• it is curated, not filled. Our advisory panel of the best South African designers, stylists, critics and industry experts, curates the Expo floor and decides who is represented there. The panel is representative of our positioning. Where a designer is not known by the panel, a process of submission is engaged where the designer's work is circulated for the panel's input.
• in addition to encouraging exhibitors to trade directly to the South African public, we also bring out several international buyers to stimulate the export market.
