Bold patterns, vivid colours, and geometric shapes, evoking elements of traditional African masks, will infuse 100% Design South Africa 2016 with a sophisticated Afro-optimistic spirit. The exhibition will see four installations guided by the compass directions – North, South, East and West – representing the four corners of the continent.

  Each region has a unique spirit, and the stands reflect that in representational colours and decor schemes. – Cathy O’Clery, Programme Director
