Celebrate 30 Years of Decorex
Don’t miss the grand celebration of 30 years of leading decor and design - Decorex Joburg 2023 runs from 3 to 6 August!
20/06/2023
It’s been
three decades since Decorex Joburg burst onto
the decor and design scene, with the inaugural
event taking place in the same year as South
Africa’s very first democratic general election
in 1994. Since then, the show has successfully
grown and maintained its stature as Africa’s
leading decor and design platform, wowing over
1,3 million total visitors with high-calibre
exhibitions, features and activations from over
13 000 exhibitors.
Now, Decorex Joburg
will celebrate its milestone 30th anniversary
with an unprecedented and multifaceted four-day
experience taking place from 3 to 6 August 2023
at the Sandton Convention Centre, a premier
events destination in the heart of ‘Africa's
richest square mile’.
Together with show
partners Lexus, Plascon and Samsung, Decorex
Joburg will present all the latest trends,
stimulating curated displays, state-of-the-art
designs and new product releases - everything
and anything you could want or need for your
home, hospitality destination or retail store. A
much-anticipated highlight of the decor and
design calendar, this massive showcase will run
simultaneously with sister shows Design Joburg
and 100% Design Africa, which are collocated and
presented in partnership with Sanlam Private
Wealth.
Value and convenience combine in
one entry ticket, which gives you access to all
three of these not-to-be-missed shows spanning
four levels of the Sandton Convention Centre.
Visitors will find the Plan & Build Hall on
Level -2, Kitchens & Bathrooms on Level 0, Decor
& Furniture on Level 5, and Design Joburg & 100%
Design Africa on Level 2. Make sure you set
aside sufficient time to view them all, as there
will be more than 250 brands on display!
To help you plan your must-see list, here
are just a few of the many highlights waiting
for you:

Designer kitchens
For kitchens that are far more than
mere task areas, look to upscale companies like
Nuuma that focus on refined details that
transform kitchens into sophisticated spaces. In
a similar vein, twelve is the essential kitchen
brand of ORDEGROUP and was developed to service
the designer private market. Then there’s
Elgar
KItchens, finalists in the KBB Kitchen Retailer
of the Year Awards. Careline Living Spaces,
creators of luxurious living spaces, will be
exhibiting timeless kitchen designs at the
Kitchen Showcase by Careline, a display that
will show off the skills of this longstanding
interior design and custom manufacturing company
to best effect.
And remember to look out
for the Kitchen Specialists Association of South
Africa (KSA), which presents beautiful kitchens
that have been designed and installed by its
members.
For the latest trends in
decorative surfaces, slabs and tiles, stop in at

appliances. Immerse yourself in their culinary
world and glean valuable cooking tips from
kitchen maestros such as Suyen Thornhill, Life
with Lerato and Plated By Palesa, and discover
