Design Indaba 2013
It was a busy day yesterday, a complete overwhelm of colours, shapes, patterns, people and design items…wow! I couldn’t talk or walk anymore.. But the buyers day is a much needed part of the expo, as one has the time to meet and greet, to look and gape at all the creativity around. Yes some exhibitors are always there with similar styles as the previous years, as this is their opportunity to sell their products, but for me the beauty lays in the discovery of the unexpected and fresh. There is something in the air that makes one want to be part of, inhale it and immerse in it. Here are some first impressions as well as items that stood out for me, some to include in my online shop and wholesale catalogue.
