The Conversational

Autumn Edition 2023 | Vol 1

We are proud to share this auspicious moment with you as we release Vol.1 of the IID inhouse magazine.

Being the only professional body representing the Interior Design Industry in South Africa, we are excited to announce the launch of ‘The Conversational’. A magazine with the core purpose of encouraging important conversations between interior designers and the value of interior design within our communities. Our aim is to put the spotlight on our members and keep them up to date with current, past, and future affairs that add value to the interior industry. We believe that the positive progress in interior design is driven by conversations which drive connections.

We would like to encourage you to share your feedback about the magazine and send us content about interesting projects you have designed/ will be designing throughout the year, which you would like us to cast a spotlight on.

Enjoy! We look forward to hearing about your projects.
