## About

A design media platform and conference sharing global design news, talks and creative stories.

Design Indaba is a design media platform that publishes news, features and videos across disciplines including architecture, product, fashion, graphic and industrial design. It maintains a large archive of articles reaching back to the late 1990s and a library of talks from its design conference.

Its content is organised by topics such as African design, craft, art and photography, design activism and the creative economy. Its flagship event, the Design Indaba Conference, has been held for many years and is documented through recorded talks and featured series.
