A sustainable, low-cost house will be built live at the show over the course of four days. It’ll be made entirely from sandbags.
Max out on MaXhosa
Global darling and iconic SA décor and fashion brand MaXhosa Africa will showcase a new line in a dedicated display. Look forward to the launch of its outdoor furniture collection, bound to be as dynamic as its vibrant fashion and homeware. As an added bonus, MaXhosa is mounting a lounge concept for the show’s VIP guests that members of the public will be able to view.
Africanismo

Emojis as design inspiration
Witness how emojis can form the foundation of a design concept at the Emoji Room Sets.
