 The people behind Design Indaba have committed the past 13 years to a vision that strongly rests on the premise that creativity will fuel the economic revolution in South Africa.
Design Indaba brings together & showcases some of the world's brightest talent across a broad spectrum of creative niches - graphic design, advertising, film, music, fashion design, industrial design, architecture, craft, visual art, new media, publishing, radio & television and performing arts sectors. The institution per se incorporates events, media, education, training and business development.
One of this year's featured designers is a Spanish national, Patricia Urquiola who lives and works in Milan.
Since establishing her studio in 2001, her prolific output has found markets through brands such as De Padova, B&B Italia, Alessi, Driade, Kartell, Flos and Moroso. She has won many design awards and has spoken at conferences and seminars in various international universities.
“More than talking about my style, I prefer to talk about a method of working. I'm quite eclectic, varied and diverse. I like to think in different scales at the same time, in architecture and design. I'm interested in behaviour structures, artisan techniques, certain aspects of memory... aspects of my life.” ~ Patricia Urquiola
