So, it was only natural that they wasted no time in announcing their next ambitious move – Design Joburg Collective: Summer Edition (#DJC21Summer), once again backed by headline sponsors Sanlam Private Wealth, and presented in association with SA Tourism. This new iteration, taking place from the 28^th to the 31^st of October 2021, has been extended, due to popular demand, to four days.

Taking place during the Highveld’s best weather month, organisers have taken full advantage of Kramerville’s indoor-outdoor layout, carefully planning their exhibits, installations, talks, pop-ups and activations to follow suit. Furthermore, the ever-popular Fourways Farmers Market will be present at Kramerville Corner for scrumptious sit-down meals, a wide choice of liquid refreshment and fresh takeaway arts and crafts. Neighbouring restaurant and rooftop bar Double Dutch will also be presenting live music whilst the nearby Stella Artois bar promises visitors insights into living the Artois life!

Whilst Kramerville remains the main pivot for this free-to-attend showcase, DJC’s geographical footprint has also expanded, to include satellite sites at Victoria Yards and 44 Stanley. These two sister-districts will also be hosting various talks, exhibitions, activations and open-studios. Design Joburg Collective: Summer Edition is sure to be a city-wide celebration of culture and creativity!

As a platform for new releases #DJC21Summer offers visitors a slew of eye-catching debut collections from the likes of Greg Gamble and Philippe van der Merwe of Tonic Design, Bilala Mabuza from Cocoon Lifestyle and La Grange Interiors’ Sumari Krige.
