At a VIP event held at the Cape Town International Convention Centre on the evening of Thursday 5 June and attended by over 300 exhibitors, stakeholders, media and trade guests, Decorex Cape Town announced the winners of its coveted 2025 show awards. Nine awards were chosen in eight categories, decided by an independent panel of eight judges, all industry leaders, educators, designers and media personalities in their own right.
The winners received bespoke trophies upcycled from plastic waste and specially custom-made for the event by Nuun (@nuun_concept_space). These innovative awards were handed out by radio personality and MC for the night Africa Melane, together with Decorex Africa’s Co-Executive Creative Directors Garreth van Niekerk and Alan Hayward.
‘We’re thrilled to see the extremely high calibre of work at this year’s show, in general, and particularly so in the case of the winners, indicating the degree to which our industry is flourishing, not only here, but increasingly on the global stage,’ Van Niekerk said.
The judging took place at the show on the morning of Thursday 5 June, ahead of the awards announcement. The award-winners were:
- Best Overall Stand and Best in Kitchen & Bathroom: Atelier 33 Bespoke Design
- Best in Decor & Furniture and Best in Hospitality: Kraak

- Best in Product Design: Hutch
