IID Johannesburg Regional Meeting   Bernice Holly   Stefan Blignaut
There is something hypnotically magnetizing about the promise of warm, hearty soup on a cold Highveld evening, and if this is to be flavoured with the essence of inspiration and seasoned with laughter and some healthy discourse one sits with the recipe for a perfect night out. Indeed, this is what was on the menu at the IID Regional Meeting held at the Lifestyle Design centre on the 7 July 2011. Change is inevitable and is the only constant thing. The IID has gone through very many changes and I think they were all very necessary ones. So it is inevitable that I embark on my own new journey that will bring about essential and exciting changes for myself. It is with a heavy heart but a light flight that I bid you all an emotional farewell. If you dream of moon walking and believe that the only politics worth considering is Adam Thirlwell’s novel, please continue ... Known variously as Stefan, Stef, and sometimes – but not always – as Stefie, Stefan spent his twenties cavorting on the stages of South Africa having grandiose illusions of being the reincarnation of Isadora Duncan and James Dean.

Crystal Forum   Freeworld Design Centre   Conversations on Architecture Speaker Line up
CRYSTAL FORUM is proud to announce the launch of a new exiting gift range made with SWAROVSKI® ELEMENTS. The combination of Swarovski crystals, highly-polished high-grade steel and Plexiglas® speaks for itself. These premium materials create the basis for the first-class quality and endurance of Crystal Infinity products.   Please join us for an exciting, bumper filled Women's Day celebration in aid of the Safe Spaces Campaign, a charity initiative which raises awareness about the need for greater personal safety for women and girls. View 'Spring Break' an interior design exhibition featuring Jay Smith, Sam Scarborough, Frank Bohm and Inhouse Brand Architects.   Trends are part and parcel of any design discipline. Yet, lasting design needs to go beyond the trendy. Rather than dwelling on fads and the fashions of the day, speakers at the highly regarded Conversations on Architecture one-day seminars probe the Zeitgeist of our era, debating new directions in architecture and challenge traditional thinking.
