Decorex Africa 2026 Dates: A Day of Design, Inspiration and the Soft Life

Over 600 exhibitors. Ten design restaurants. Twenty immersive lighting, architecture and furniture installations, inspirational bathroom and kitchen features, DIY renovation workshopsand interactive live cooking studios. Decorex Africa 2026,  proudly sponsored by Santam and Lexus, is South Africa’s biggest design showcase, and this year, the brief is living more gently. The Cape Town edition is additionally supported by the City of Cape Town.

Under the theme Soft Life, both Cape Town and Joburg editions invite visitors into spaces where comfort, contemporary design and intentional living take centre stage. Visitors can expect pioneering new works from our 2026 Designers of the Year, and hundreds of unique African brands bringing the  best of contemporary craftsmanship to South Africa.

“This year’s Decorex and 100% Design Africa moves away from decades of ‘hustle’ culture, and asks how we could approach design to create spaces that put the human experience at the forefront of our approach to living,” says Garreth van Niekerk, joint Executive Creative Director of Decorex Africa.

Cape Town: 25 – 28 June 2026, Cape Town International Convention Centre
