Decorex Joburg is back with a multifaceted four-day event aimed at highlighting new design concepts and advancements in home decor.
Decorex Joburg will present all the latest trends, curated displays, local designs and new product releases. A much-anticipated highlight of the decor and design calendar, this massive showcase taking place from 1 to 4 August 2024, will run alongside 100% Design Africa.
Spanning four levels of the Sandton Convention Centre, here are our must-see highlights to help you plan your visit:
Refined Kitchen Luxury
nuuma, a South African-born brand redefining the luxury kitchen market, will showcase inspiring modern kitchen designs that take understated style a step further. Think luxury materials, clean lines, and innovative bespoke kitchen solutions.
Rooted in simplicity, nuuma champions the principles of interior minimalism. They prioritise innovative solutions that enhance the cooking experience and focus on the seamless integration of form and function with every high-end design.
Located on Level 0 in the Kitchen and Bathroom Hall, nuuma’s stand C09 will embody the brand’s ethos, offering visitors a unique, curated kitchen design experience highlighting the latest trends and innovations in culinary design. | nuuma.co.za
100% Design Café
Wolkberg Casting Studios, a multi-award-winning participant at 100% Design and Decorex since 2017, is collaborating with Food, I Love You, a like-minded entrepreneurial brand in South Africa whose “Eat simple | Eat Together” concept resonates deeply with Wolkberg.
This collaboration on the 100% Design Café is a match made in design and food heaven! For the design of the experiential space, Wolkberg wanted to further explore the intersection between Design and Food. Wolkberg has crafted an elegant restaurant setting, providing the perfect backdrop for Food I Love You’s Harvest Table-style cuisine.
In the lead-up to the four-day event, Wolkberg will also be exploring insightful conversations around how interior design influences consumer behaviour in hospitality environments through their Podcast “In the Thick of Design”. Their goal is to raise awareness and show appreciation for the value good design brings to the restaurant experience.
Join them at the 100% Design Café located on Level 2 in the 100% Design Hall and celebrate the harmony of design and food. | wolkberg.com
Step Outside
Go alfresco with CREMA and step onto an Italian terrace designed by JVR Architects. CREMA will be breaking down the boundaries between inside and out, venturing into the open air with a refreshing new, all-encompassing, contextual take on outdoor design, adding new collections from archival and contemporary designers, as well as introducing outdoor versions of the existing indoor portfolio.
CREMA will be showcasing some of the best international furniture and lighting at stand F04 on Level 2 in the 100% Design Hall. | crema.co.za
The Sleep Experience
Overhaul your sleep experience with customisable comfort, colour and quality at the Sloom stand D12 located on Level 5 in the Decor, Lighting and Design Hall. Founded in 2016, the South African mattress brand offers a unique mattress-in-a-box delivery concept. Once opened, the Sloom Mattress expands for a good night’s sleep.
“In 2015, I toyed with the idea of incorporating different comfort layers into a single mattress. It began as a dual-comfort mattress with two different comfort levels on each side. Later this evolved into a customisable mattress with four different comfort levels. Each layer contributes to the mattress as a whole, bringing the concept of a mattress in a box to life,” says founder Rudo Kemp.
Sloom has since expanded its product range to include the Sloom Height-Adjustable Pillow and introduced various colour options for its headboards and bedframes, as well as 100% BCI Cotton Bedding. 2024 sees Sloom elevate the Bedroom space once again with its brand-new Oak Edge Bedframe. The new range will be available – for the first time – at Decorex Joburg. | sloom.co.za
