Decorex Cape Town   Rand Show   Nemeth Review
Decor anarchy, royal shades of purple, creative home studios, hanging gardens, eco-caring palm flooring, upcycled furniture, Cape antiques and slick Italian designer chairs standing cheek by jowl were just some of the new directions spotted at Decorex Cape Town, recently held in the Mother City for the 13th year.   The IID and the Rand Show 2011 have collaborated with a selection of accredited tertiary institutions in Gauteng that offer full time that offer full time interior design courses to bring about a design competition that tasked the students to create a piece of furniture which brings to life the Rand shows return to old family values and great fun with the theme “finding the new in the old”   Having just completed my trends workshops around the country, I would just like to thank all those that attended as the attendance was beyond expectations for the initial launch of this new concept here in South Africa. As a professional Trend Forecaster & Analyst, I will continue with these reports in collaboration with the IID.

Mapetla   World Interiors Day   Loerie Awards
The IID has begun our exciting community engagement project with the Mapetla Hospice and Day Care in Soweto. We have received all the conceptual drawings from the 10% for 90% project done by the students of the Greenside Design Centre in honour of World Interiors Day 2010. This space conveys the uninterrupted transparency of the interior, and stimulates curiosity for deeper exploration. The connectivity between interior and exterior metaphorically relates to the extended scope of "green" responsibilities held by contemporary design professionals. Entries close on Wednesday the 13th of May 2011. The Loerie Awards entries are for Architecture and Interior design categories.
