The Soft Life took on a different shape in every Design Pod this year.
Some spaces made a case for slowing down. Others found comfort in colour, texture, pattern or the simple pleasure of having room to gather. Looking back at Cape Town and Joburg, we’ve picked eight ideas that stayed with us, one from each of eight stands.
From landscape-inspired palettes and upholstered walls to bold florals and pleating, these details offer different ways to bring The Soft Life home.
Swipe through for the ideas we’re still thinking about, and the designers behind them.
