Calling all design lovers! Decorex Joburg is back from 24 to 27 July 2025, and this year, it’s taking over five levels of the Sandton Convention Centre with the best in interiors, architecture, lifestyle, kitchens, bathrooms, furniture and everything in between. Whether you’re planning a home renovation, searching for standout decor, or just here for the inspo, this future-focused showcase is where style and creativity collide.

After a buzzing run in Cape Town, the Joburg edition is upping the game with exclusive new features, big-name speakers and interactive displays presented by headline partners Samsung, Lexus and Santam.

Among the highlights? A rare appearance by Decorex Joburg’s Designer of the Year 2025, Charles O Job, the Zurich-based architect known for his sculptural seating and innovative design thinking. You can also roll up your sleeves in the Create Café ceramics studio, or watch daily cooking demos in the @home Cooking Studio, complete with Samsung kitchen tech and fresh ingredients delivered by Mr D.

New for Joburg: The Bedroom Project, where local designers reimagine dreamy hotel-style bedrooms, and the Eiger Experience, a kitchen-lover’s dream created with Denic Cabinets.

The show’s popular Future Talks series returns, featuring trailblazers like Stephen Klein and Sinegugu Ngxongo, offering insight into the future of design in Africa. Talks are included in your day ticket and held on the 100% Design Africa floor.

From handmade African finds at the Capitec handmadeAFRICA Design MRKT to the luxe Lexus Design Pod, there’s something to see, shop and do on every level.
