This year’s “What Design Can Do” festival in Amsterdam focused strongly on Africa as a place of challenges and stimuli, thanks partly to collaboration with Design Indaba.

Ashley Heather’s jewellery collection, presented at Design Indaba, is handcrafted using silver and gold reclaimed from circuit boards by a small refinery in South Africa.

In March Domusweb celebrated the spring dedicating space to the relationship between architecture and nature, in residential projects and photography. We went to Africa and New York, returning to Italy for the Design Week’s previews.

“Africa is now”, curated by Design Indaba let us discover an intelligent design not just “Made in Africa” but “Made for Africa”, triggered by local needs and that turns them into answers with a global reach.
