Decorex Durban & Hirsch’s Kitchen & Bathroom Faire 2009
Decorex Durban & Hirsch’s Kitchen & Bathroom Faire 2009 is bringing a new fusion to the playground of the Zulu Kingdom - a celebration of the modern and focused, interlaced with urban and rural flair, the designed and the discovered. The show promises to be a celebration of Durban’s most eclectic & charming style shapers, trend makers & décor creators, with Plascon as show sponsor and SABC3 as media partner. Show highlights include:
Plascon, paint with imagination:
Lifting the lid on the hip and trendy colour palette for 2009 is the Plascon nature-inspired Colour Forecast. The latest Plascon colour forecast is filled with hues and tones that mimic the natural world and its life-giving energy. This trend-setting collection introduces 32 new colours in four separate palettes within the natural theme: air, water, fire and earth.
Sanlam Dream Rooms:
Fresh, chic, conceptual and creative, each stand in the Sanlam Dream Rooms will be transformed into a fantasy setting of design elements and new ideas. This exquisite collection of high-end décor brands, lifestyle stores, fabric houses and interior decorators merge trends, palettes, materials and patterns with a contemporary edge.
SABC3 LifeStyle Theatre:
The new SABC3 LifeStyle Theatre promises to effortlessly blend the pastimes of cooking and designer-DIY into one chic and delightful package. Use this opportunity to get clued up on the latest in food fashion with celebrity chefs and the hottest ‘I-made-it myself’ projects.
SANLAM, Thinking Ahead With the Next Generation Style Shapers:
Sanlam and Decorex have tracked down a talented brigade of emerging young decorators & designers who are shaking up the norms. With the theme ‘Eclectic & Charming’ as their design cue, these style shapers will be playing with a blank canvas and transforming an empty shell into a ‘Home to the New.’
Décor & Antiques Market
Are you a vintage collector or fabric aficionado? A new value-add feature of the show for 2009 is the fantastic Décor and Antiques Market. Replete with stalls from fabric warehouses and collectables retailers, the market is sure to be a firm favourite with those searching for a bargain, something different, a little quirky or with a burst of individual flavour.
Refreshment Areas:
Take a breather from all the shopping and trend-spotting in the relaxing, beautifully designed eateries and bars. Linger and reflect on the good life over wine and tapas or chocolate and espresso.
Conversations on Architecture
Decorex SA has great pleasure in announcing that hot design issues will be debated in Durban in 2009 as the highly popular Conversations of Architecture seminar take to the stage alongside the show. Star-studded & stimulating, the COA-seminars will probe global design trends, while keeping a close eye on the local influences shaping people's lives & their living, working & playing environments. Leading South African architects & designers will be joined by a celebrated international key note speaker to share their views & visions. COA is proudly sponsored by CaesarStone, Design Center & Plascon.
