The South African Institute of the Interior Design Professions (IID) was founded in 2006 through the amalgamation of the South African Guild of Interior Designers (SAGID) and Design South Africa (DSA).  

The IID is a national non governmental organization and a Section 21 company and as such is a non profit organisation.

It represents the interests of the Interior Architecture, Interior Design and Interior Decorating professions in South Africa. It operates on a national basis through a head office in Gauteng and regional liaison offices in Kwa Zulu-Natal and the Eastern and Western Cape. 

Our aim is to promote high standards throughout the profession and to expand the contribution of the Interior Professions in society through the exchange and development of knowledge and expertise in education, practice and fellowship
