Are you a designer, a maker, or part of a creative brand? There’s an exciting opportunity waiting for you. Design Week 2024 is calling on all creatives to join an amazing event that celebrates the future of South African design.
Design Week is a four-day event set to take place in Johannesburg and Cape Town. If you get selected, you’ll be part of a packed calendar filled with workshops, exhibitions, and interactive experiences. You’ll also get to join in on thought-provoking discussions, explore immersive installations, and even enjoy some tasty food and drinks along the way.
This isn’t about one type of design: it’s about everything from architecture to fashion, furniture to graphic design, and even urban planning. The mission is to create South Africa’s leading design platform—a space where creativity thrives, connections are made, and collaborations spark innovative ideas.
The event aims to boost the local creative economy by showcasing products, hosting exhibitions, and putting on activations that increase public and media awareness of South African design. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, this platform is about celebrating design as a way of thinking and creating.
Margot Molyneux, the founder of Design Week South Africa, shares her excitement: “With an abundance of skills, opportunities, and energy at our disposal, I am excited to embark on a new role where I can help to create a platform that showcases forward-thinking design that is inspirational, educational, sustainable, and economically viable for all who engage in it.”
