Live more beautifully...Design Indaba, The Eggman and Cape Town

March 17, 2007 by serge the concierge

Who would not agree with the idea to 'Live more beautifully'.
South Africa showcased a world of creators for the 10th edition of Design Indaba.

From designers that shape the world to being carbon neutral for the second year the Design Indaba Expo in Cape Town opens new paths by blending its African Roots and modern design.

Amongst the speakers were the ubiquitous Brian Eno, graphic designer Neville Brody and Heath Nash who I featured in a previous story.
Also present was The Eggman (not the Walrus), the creation of Gregory da Silva (pictured here).

The people of PingMag (Tokyo) offer an Excellent Two Part Summary of the event.

Also worth mentioning is 24.com Design. They show us the richness of what was displayed at the show from wooden rabbits to feather lamps and rainbow like dresses.

Other Cape Town flavors: It's beautiful here: Hang your coat on Heat Nash's words and Take the Stellenbosch Wine Route

I might not agree with all his mottos. I adhere with 2 of them at least 'Escape 9 to 5' (as long...
