Design lovers, creatives and curious minds, mark your calendars: Decorex Cape Town returns to the Cape Town International Convention Center from 5-8 June 2025.

As Cape Town's leading celebration of design, décor and creativity, expect an unmissable lineup of installations, talks and immersive spaces that delve into how we live, work and play; now and in the future.

The theme of this year's show is 'The Future of Living' with Executive Creative Directors Alan Hayward and Garreth van Niekerk offering an inspiring deep dive into the global design conversations shaping the look of tomorrow. Those take place across a range of installations:

Capitec handmadeAFRICA + Design MRKT Already a hit at NIROX Sculpture Park, handmadeAFRICA comes to Decorex with over 40 design brands in a dynamic new format. Adjacent to the showcase is the new Design MRKT, where you can shop standout pieces – from sculptural furniture to bold ceramics – and take a piece of the future home with you.
