The experienced team behind DJC is
keen to flex their talents in a new “space”.
This will be a sharply curated combination
of outdoor and indoor attractions –
engaging visitors with new products
and collections, pimped-up in-store and
window displays, as well as must-attend
activities and offers. Several showrooms
will also be hosting talks featuring leaders
in the creative community (visitors are
encouraged to keep an eye on Design
Joburg and DJC’s website and social
media for details).
Whilst Kramerville’s participating
tenants will, of course, be spotlighted,
DJC has also created opportunities for
designers, crafters and creative brands
without representation in the precinct.
Expect eclectic pop-ups in designated
sites. The art scene will also be represented,
with various exhibits by leading local and
international artists including outdoor
sculpture from James Delaney, various
work by multidisciplinary artist Keneilwe
Mokoenaas and an exhibition by French
artist Catherine Timotei.
