Discover the best in contemporary design at Africa's largest curated design platform

30 July – 02 August, Sandton Convention Centre

100% Design Africa is far more than just an exhibition. As Africa’s only international design show, 100% Design Africa is the launchpad that the industry needs to enter onto the global stage. Through the spirit of exchange, this hybrid trade event brings key members of the interior industry together, showcasing all manner of contemporary designs from across the continent – from furniture and product design to specialised areas like art, literature, and crafts. As a phygital platform, 100% Design Africa combines the power of physical exhibition space and events, with the power of digital storytelling, enabling innovative ideas to be showcased in new and exciting ways. Through the use of technology, we’re able to make the trade fair a more dynamic and interactive space, with greater reach and relevance than ever before.

One hundred designs, ten at a time.

We’re returning to Ten x Ten, this year’s exhibition at 100% Design Africa, for a closer look at the objects and materials that made up the selection.

Across ten carousels, we’ll introduce one design from each of its ten categories, building an edit you can return to when you’re looking for a maker, a material or an idea.

Our opening selection moves from Beauty Ngxongo’s weaving and Lothar Böttcher’s carved glass to BKD’s ceramics and Wolkberg Casting Studios textile-inspired tiles. There’s furniture, fabric, wallpaper and lighting too, bringing different scales and approaches to making into the same conversation.

Swipe through to meet the first ten, and save the names for your next project. Follow 100% Design Africa for the next selection.

A festive table can begin with a walk through the garden.

For Babylonstoren's Carisa Meaker, this season’s inspiration comes from foliage, seasonal fruit and flowers, brought together in loose arrangements that invite a little of the outdoors inside.

In this instalment of The Festive Edit, the farm’s approach offers a palette worth borrowing: soft olive and deeper leafy greens, lifted by fresh yellow-green and touches of muted gold. Draped linen, glass and candlelight give the setting its sense of occasion, with space for guests to settle in and linger.

That connection to the garden carries into gifting, too. Craftsmanship, sensory pleasures and things to share become ways of bringing a little of the farm into someone else’s home, with a story about where they come from.

Swipe through for Babylonstoren’s garden-inspired festive ideas, and save the palette for your summer table.

Art doesn’t have to stay on the walls this festive season.

For Bilala Mabuza, founder and creative director of Cocoon Lifestyle, setting the table has been a family ritual since childhood, shaped by a mother and grandmother who insisted that meals were occasions to gather.

This season, she brings that tradition into Art Eye gallery in Johannesburg. Surrounded by paintings, sculpture and ceramics, her tablescape explores how the objects we eat from and gather around can become part of the artistic conversation.

Handmade ceramics, delicate glass and sculptural florals bring different textures into play, with treasured objects and unexpected combinations giving the setting its character. Her approach to gifting follows the same thinking: choose a ceramic piece, woven creation or object for the home that becomes part of someone’s everyday rituals.

We’re opening The Festive Edit with Cocoon: a series of decorating, hosting and gifting ideas from South Africa’s designers and homeware specialists. Swipe through for Bilala’s approach, and save your favourite ideas for your own festive table.

Is it furniture, sculpture, or a little of both?

The work Sherman Baloyi brought to 100% Design Africa sits comfortably between those worlds. Based in Harare, he moves across painting, assemblage and object-making, carrying an interest in African identity and the possibilities of materials that have been overlooked.

We’ve been thinking about his furniture since seeing it at the show. Look closely and the question of what an object is *for* starts to feel much more interesting.

Two new Joburg stores to put on your list.

At Nelson Mandela Square, Poetry’s new lifestyle concept store brings furniture, homeware and fashion together in its most complete expression of the brand yet.

And in Parkhurst, Pedersen + Lennard has opened its first Joburg store, bringing its Cape Town-made furniture and homeware to Sixth Street.

Two very different spaces, and two good reasons to make time for a proper look around. Poetry Stores Pedersen+Lennard

What if the future of Johannesburg could be built from more of what’s already here?

MILarchi Architects is an exciting local practice exploring that possibility at Nine Yards in Rosebank, where nine neighbouring residential properties have been transformed into a connected precinct of restaurants, shops, galleries and gardens.

Their approach centres on 'adaptive reuse': giving existing buildings a new purpose while retaining the qualities that make them special. A house might become a shop or restaurant, with its original structure and character shaping what comes next.

At Nine Yards, that thinking extends across the site. Buildings were repaired and adapted, salvaged bricks and roof tiles found new uses, and mature trees helped determine where new spaces would take shape.

As Johannesburg continues to change, Milarchi's work at Nine Yards offers a compelling example of how architecture can reshape the city while carrying its history forward.

What happens when a love of South African design becomes a series of imagined interiors?

For Kgomotso Monnakgotla, Weekly ObjeKtz began as a way to explore rooms that felt completely, unapologetically personal. Bringing together real pieces of local furniture, art, lighting and objects, the series has since become a space for discovery, connection and potential collaboration.

For Kgomotso each interior starts with collecting, curating and composing. AI enters at the final visualisation stage, helping bring an already developed design into view.

We asked about the ideas behind the series, what gives these spaces their South African character, and which room might make the leap into real life.

Swipe through the interiors and our conversation. Which would you most like to see built?

What happens to light when it meets clay?

At *Aether Commons: Refracted Cosmologies* in Warsaw, work by Andile Dyalvane and Zizipho Poswa joins an exhibition that looks at light through painting, sculpture and installation.

Dyalvane’s *Ngcip-ngciphu* and *Incindi* and Poswa’s *uMameKhaya* bring their distinct ways of working with clay into a conversation that stretches well beyond illumination.

Curated by Azu Nwagbogu at the Fundacja Stefana Gierowskiego, the exhibition runs until 18 October. Southern Guild

African craft had many voices at Homo Faber in Venice this year.

Ronel Jordaan Textiles felted forms sat alongside basketry by Angeline Masuku, woodwork from Favourite Design Studio in Eswatini, weaving by Madagascar’s Made For a Woman, bronze sculpture by Hamado Zoundi and textile work by Princia Matungulu.

They're just a few of the makers from across the continent whose work appeared in the 2026 exhibition. A celebration of different materials and traditions, each opening up its own way of seeing what a skilled hand can do.

Swipe through for a look back on the names from the continent that shone at what was another incredible celebration of global craft's most beautiful platform.
