The Design Indaba Expo is a celebration of South Africa’s wealth of creativity. Which includes advertising, architecture, craft, décor, film, fashion, graphic design, interior design, jewellery, new media, publishing, product design and visual media, are all presented together. Each of the over 260 exhibitors is evaluated and endorsed by an advisory panel of top South African designers, stylists, critics and industry experts. Setting a high curatorial standard, all products are original, contemporary and innovative, not to mention conceived and manufactured in South Africa.

The Design Indaba Expo 2010 was open to the public and was held from Friday 26 February to Sunday 28 February.A chock-a-block daily programme of additional activities will fuel the buzz. All-day fashion shows, a short-film festival, the new Design Indaba Kids workshops, a suave designer bar, tantalising designer food and daily Pecha Kucha presentations by leading local creative artist are just some of the highlights to look forward to. Check out some of the fabulous photos below:

International Design All Stars from every discipline under the sun have been showing off their inventive prowess at the Design Indaba Conference since 1995. Drawing fans from creative, corporate and educational sectors alike, the conference has become the playing field for the imaginative at heart. Even one of my favorite entrepreneurs do-it-yourself mavens Martha Stewart was there and I'm sure she will feature the event on her television show.
