WORDS Amelia Brown
Celebrate the Mother City, credited as the world’s most creative city in 2016, at the We Are Cape Town exhibition by 100% Design South Africa at Decorex Cape Town from 27 – 30 April 2017.
We Are Cape Town recognises some of the enablers, curators, collaborators, studios and designers who represent the city’s design spirit and who have put it on the world’s design map.
“The Cape Town design community plays a substantial role in our society by creating outstanding environments for our tourists, jobs for our residents, beautiful interior solutions for homes, and work that resonates across the globe,” says Cathy O’Clery, 100% Design South Africa’s creative director who conceptualised and curated the exhibition. “We Are Cape Town is dual purpose – putting the spotlight on the city as a nurturer and hub of creative talent and promoting a community that plays a substantial part in the economic growth of the city.”
The stand-alone exhibition will feature work by Cape Town-based designers such as studio mates Clementina van der Walt, Peta Becker and Hoi P’loy, Michael Chandler and some of the Chandler House collaborators, as well as artists working at Art in the Forest with Anthony Shapiro. Cathy has chosen work from a wide number of design disciplines in order to reflect the depth and range of the local industry.
We Are Cape Town acts as a precursor to 100% Design South Africa’s main event, held in Johannesburg at Gallagher Convention Centre from 9 – 13 August 2017, entitled We Are Joburg. The similarly locally themed exhibition pays homage to Gauteng’s design collaborators.
Decorex Cape Town runs from 27 – 30 April 2017 at the CTICC from 10am – 6pm daily. Ticket prices are R95 for adults, R85 for pensioners and R20 for children under 12. Find out more at 100percentdesign.co.za or on Facebook.
