2014: Where will YOU be?

Remember when we said Cape Town was a sure thing in 2014? Well, we called it, as you can see. The prestigious World Design Capital status, designated biennially by the International Council of Societies of Industrial Design (ICSID) to cities that are dedicated to using design for social, cultural and economic development is a major coup for design of all kinds in South Africa, and well deserved.
