Khumbulani Craft goes to the Design Indaba

8 February 2010

In anticipation of the world’s eye being on South Africa this year, the Design Indaba is counting the days until the opening of its biggest exhibition to date.  The 2010 exhibition features over 244 of the country’s best creative talents, showing off uniquely South African design.

One such exhibitor is Khumbulani Craft, a local NGO that contributes towards poverty alleviation through the design, production, marketing and sale of traditional and contemporary craft.  The company currently works with approximately 350 crafters in KwaZulu-Natal and Mpumalanga.  Many of these people live in the most remote of rural areas, where it is impossible to market their goods.

As well as displaying a range of stone, beaded and ceramic products, two new items will launch at the Design Indaba – BarberOsgerby stools produced under license by weavers in KwaZulu-Natal and exquisite white pots entered into the expo’s “The Most Beautiful Object in South Africa” competition.

Laurette, Mandla and Bonita look forward to meeting you at the Khumbulani Craft stand in Hall 1, Stand A1.

The Design Indaba Expo 2010 is open to the public from Friday 26 February to Sunday 28 February 2010 at the Cape Town International Convention Centre.
