Imagine: A bedroom inspired by a bird’s first memory; a lounge-design with the mood of a ‘50s detective novel; designer bookshelves promoting literacy and Man Caves cause célèbre.
If you're wondering what exactly that bird was thinking, you'll need get to Decorex in CT at the end of the month. And if you're not keen to leave your own Man Cave to swing by the ATM to collect the R130 you'll need for a double ticket, simply email decorex@themonth.co.za and you may be one of the five double ticket recipients.
The rest of the press release:
The imaginative concepts planned for Decorex Cape Town 2012 is why this décor and design exhibition is still leading-edge fourteen yearslater.
Plascon is the main sponsor and M-net is the media partner of the four-day exhibition taking place from 26 to 29 April at the CTICC. Visitors will be impressed with the many curated trend
installations, creative collaborations with a charity-angle and cutting-edge concept stands. “This year we celebrate the design status of Cape Town and the extraordinary creative energy of our local talent,” says Cairey Baxter-Bruce, General Manager of Decorex SA.
“A ‘back-to-basics’ non-trend movement is fast gaining momentum, fuelled on by global natural disasters as well as political and economic uncertainties,” she says. This urges designers to apply their their imagination to age-old ways of doing things – creating unique solutions to 21st century realities,” she reckons.
