Another highlight that took centre stage at Decorex was the designer bird homes. Imagine a love nest inspired by Romeo and Juliet or a fairytale bird home. Decor enthusiasts witnessed this imagination become reality, as they were treated to Home Tweet Home, a show-stopping collection of thirty designer bird houses created for charity by a flock of innovative thinkers. These bird cribs, some playful and others avant-garde, were displayed to raise awareness for the Jungle Tots Mother Touch Academy. All proceeds from the sale of these designer birdhouses benefited this fundraising campaign. “Through this campaign Decorex SA illustrates that good design can also be ‘do-good design’, using the talents of the design community for a charitable cause,” says Melanie Robinson. With Decorex Joburg 2010 proving to be a great success and a ‘breath of fresh air’, as it was so appropriately themed, we look forward to an even bigger and better Decorex in 2011. <
