Visitors can expect to see top trends on display as flashbacks from yesteryear re-emerging in new ways. Think bold floral patterns as well as geometric and organic forms from the 70s; the minimalist Scandinavian style of clean lines, raw wood and natural light; as well as subtle inclusions of mixed material, brass or copper metallic elements and earthy, warm colours.
The unique Durban lifestyle is a big part of why locals love the area and embrace the vibrant, diverse culture that defines it. Showcasing some this local flair is the introduction of Discover Durban Design, a new concept to the show that will celebrate local products, furniture and fashion. In keeping with the local theme, the first weekend of the event will showcase the popular Home Grown Design Fair pop-up feature, focusing on artisanal design and décor products made by talented, local crafters and design studios.
Another addition to the line-up is a focus on décor for kids’ spaces. Parents looking for help in decluttering and redecorating their children’s rooms or living spaces can find workable solutions with Genevieve Motley, designer, blogger and founder of inspirational kids décor and handmade toys online store, Olly Polly.
Joining Olly Polly will be joined by a number of concepts to incorporate into kids’ spaces that make up a show feature called The Edit. Visitors can explore a selection of rugs, wallpapers, nursery furniture, bedding, hanging tents, tee-pees, wall hangings, floor cushions, throws and blankets, night lights, garlands, cushions, clothing, macramé and more.
East Coast Radio House & Garden Show 2018 will showcase local interior specialists in traditional African printed accessories and fabrics, captivating art, lazercut home décor, natural fibre and vinyl rugs, blended concrete and wooden furniture, embroidered pure cotton percale linen, handcrafted furniture and décor, handcrafted quality silk and real flower arrangements and customised hardwood furniture.
