Decorex Joburg celebrates significant milestone at 2018 show<\/a>: <\/p>\n

\"\"
Decorex Joburg, the flagship Decorex exhibition, is celebrating 25 years of d\u00e9cor excellence with an incredible designer line-up for its 2018 edition. Presented by Plascon, this milestone exhibition will be taking place at the Gallagher Convention Centre from 8 to 12 August.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been an incredible year for d\u00e9cor and design and we are so excited to be celebrating these beautiful trends \u2013 while looking forward to 2018\u2019s inspiration \u2013 with the 25th Decorex Joburg,\u201d said Sian Cullingworth, Portfolio Director at Decorex SA. \u201cThis show is a culmination of both regionally and globally-inspired designs that draw on more than two decades of industry knowledge fused into the best that current d\u00e9cor trends have to offer. It will be an overwhelmingly vibrant show fuelled with gifted creativity.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the Start<\/p>\n

The first Decorex exhibition was held at Johannesburg\u2019s Gallagher Estate in 1994 in one show hall featuring 144 exhibitors. Themed \u2018Harmony in Colour\u2019, the inaugural d\u00e9cor and design show attracted 26 000 visitors and the popular exhibition continued to grow in numbers and exhibitors from then. The 2017 Decorex Joburg exhibition spanned eight halls, including the co-located exhibition 100% Design SA, at the original venue \u2013 now Gallagher Convention Centre \u2013 with more than 700 exhibitors showcasing quality furniture, d\u00e9cor and design products and accessories to 54 615 inspired visitors.<\/p>\n

Returning performers<\/p>\n

In addition to the innovative style which has set the industry standard in d\u00e9cor exhibitions, Decorex Joburg has a number of welcome constants forming part of the show\u2019s fabric. Headline sponsors, Plascon, have supported the annual exhibitions for the past 25 years and continue to play a vital role within the exhibition space. The 2018 Plascon installation promises a colourful d\u00e9cor feature with on-trend design inspiration with expert product guidance creating an enticing space for all visitors.<\/p>\n

Also featuring for the 25th showcase is the professional interior design representative body, The African Institute for Interior Design Professions (IID) leading floor manufacturer, Belgotex Floors, and quality carpet manufacturer, Nouwens. Another prominent name associated with Decorex Joburg is exhibition patron, Stephen Falcke. An award-winning interior designer, Falcke has showcased his globally-inspired talents at the event for the past 24 years. This year will see Falcke return to his favourite design showcase, taking on another inspired project that keeps the Decorex brand so in demand.<\/p>\n

Commenting on this collaborative journey, Falcke said: \u201cI\u2019ve been a part of Decorex since its inception and it is truly an honoured position to be patron of this incredible exhibition. To have all these amazing designs and different people that make up our interesting trade family, all under one roof, is really such an exciting experience, and I look forward to it every year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Innovative growth<\/p>\n

The growth of Decorex Joburg has seen an extension of the trade element to include 100% Design South Africa in 2014. This leading design space features more than 130 local and international exhibitors displaying high-end furniture, textiles, lighting, wallpaper and product design. It also includes 60 enterprises from the South African Craft Collective (SACC), a proudly South African feature of handmade home, gift and fashion accessories suited to the local and international market. This year, Decorex Joburg will welcome the inclusion of the International Sourcing Fair (ISF), a trade focused exhibition space dedicated to sourcing and purchasing of retail and commercial products, exclusively focusing on the home, gift, office and hospitality sectors.<\/p>\n

Commenting on this milestone exhibition, Cullingworth said visitors would be treated to a colourful programme of innovative features that celebrate current trends and a history of d\u00e9cor excellence. \u201cThe continued popularity of Decorex Joburg comes down to the introduction, year-on-year of trend-setting features which draw, both on timeless elegance and modern styles, while maintaining quality craftsmanship.
