Get ready, Joburg. The country’s most significant decor, design, lifestyle and interiors showcase returns to Sandton from 24 to 27 July 2025, and it’s even bigger than ever before, this time spanning five levels of the convention centre. Following a successful edition in the Mother City in June, Decorex Joburg, organised by RX, introduces brand-new exclusive features alongside Cape Town favourites, a new line-up of Future Talks at the co-located 100% Design Africa, Joburg’s own Designer of the Year 2025, and a curated exhibitor showcase that reimagines the future of living. Gathering hundreds of local and international exhibitors under one roof, Decorex Joburg promises four unmissable days of future-facing decor and design.
The show is presented in partnership with leading brands Samsung, Lexus and Santam, who are mounting some of the show’s biggest and most impactful interactive stands: level up with tomorrow’s tech, explore a new expression of luxury in a vehicle, and uncover fresh possibilities to secure your future.
