STILES | Stand A22
Known for curating tile ranges that inspire, Stiles returns to Decorex Cape Town with a curated edit of decorative tiles that bridge design with lasting function. Visitors can expect to see the latest tile trends on display – including relief textures, graphic forms, checkerboard patterning and the standout “Funky Tile” collection.

BEAUTY FIRES | Stand A30
Setting the mood for modern living, Forge Fires – distributed by Beauty Fires – is bringing sculptural simplicity and warmth to the CTICC during the four-day event. Locally manufactured and built to last, this wood-burning collection strikes the perfect balance between innovative design and performance. With both portrait and landscape models available in a variety of sizes, you could quite literally install a fireplace in every room of the house.
Every Forge Fires unit features a dual combustion system that enhances efficiency and reduces wood consumption. Adjustable top and bottom air inlets allow for precise control over the burn rate, while removable ashtrays make clean-up quick and easy.
Visitors to the Beauty Fires stand will be able to view the full range and take advantage of special show discounts on Forge fireplaces. | beautyfires.com
OGGIE | Stand J14
With over two decades of experience shaping interiors – many of which have graced the pages of VISI – Oggie has established itself as Africa’s largest importer of European Oak, and a name synonymous with sophisticated, sustainable living.
At this year’s Decorex Cape Town, the brand will welcome design enthusiasts to its beautifully curated 80m² installation, located next to the Decorex Bubbly Bar. Here, visitors can immerse themselves in Oggie’s latest engineered hardwood collections, including exclusive patterns and contemporary surface treatments designed to inspire architects, interior designers and aesthetes alike. | oggie.co.za
SEALY | Stand L27
For those who believe in the transformative power of sleep, make sure you head straight to Sealy‘s stand. The premium sleep brand will be showcasing the Sealy Crown Jewel – designed for those who are seeking more than just a bed.
At the heart of the Crown Jewel range lies an exclusive zoned support system that’s engineered to provide targeted support. The Crown Jewel Pocket uses individually encased coils to minimise partner disturbance, while the Crown Jewel DSX responds intuitively to body weight with deep, responsive support. Both feature Duraflex™ Foam Encased edge support, which means the mattress never sags (even when you sit on the edge).
Meticulously handcrafted in South Africa, this luxury range is designed to elevate rest into an art form. | sealy.co.za
Hubs to Explore

Future Talks
This unmissable programme of 14 CPD-accredited sessions brings together the boldest minds in design under the theme ‘Design Makes the Future’. Hear industry titans debate the future of retail, discover the next wave of hospitality trends, and dive into landscape design, culinary innovation and the psychology of colour.
100% Design Local Pavilion
This year’s event at the CTICC sees the introduction of New Reflections – the 100% Design Africa Local Pavilion – celebrating local talent at the forefront of South Africa’s design future. Curated by Decorex Africa’s Creative Directors Garreth van Niekerk and Alan Hayward, the design hub will feature a host of unmissable product launches, limited-edition pieces and exciting collaborations.
Where to Eat
From bubbles to locally roasted coffee and beautifully plated bites, Decorex Cape Town’s food and drink offerings are as considered as the design displays themselves.
Decorex Bubbly Bar
The Line Avenue Bar is set to take the annual Decorex Bubbly Bar to the next level, starting with its most dramatic design element: a golden seam that splits the space down the middle. One side – all matte metals with obsidian panels – will be punctuated by the lilt of atmospheric jazz, while the other half of the bar will be bathed in an eruption of vibrant colour with upbeat Afro house to set the mood.
Decorex Café
Designed by Rialheim, the central café will turn every bite into a design moment. Between sips of your smooth brew, sink into a full sensory experience that celebrates texture, craftsmanship and local creativity.
