Design is about telling the ongoing story of a place, rather than imposing a style, according to leading creative director Ilse Crawford (UK).

Design Indaba will act as the South African Design Week in 2008, with the expo and conference programme running over a week, from Saturday 23 February to Friday 29 February.
For the fifth time, the Design Indaba Expo will offer a curated commercial platform for South African designers to showcase local goods and services to the global market. Based on the success of the 2007 event, which played host to more than 20 000 visitors, the 2008 event has been extended for an extra day, running from Saturday 23 to Tuesday 26 February, 2008.
The expo will also be even bigger than before with more floor space, a host of new exhibitors and a brand-new dedicated fashion arena with day-long shows and movie festivals.
