Social & Industrial - Design Indabar

Design Indabar- Cape Town 2012

The display area and projection surface

This winter we're celebrating Design Indaba's unique perspective for displaying and showcasing the best in creativity.

I've had a great time hanging out with the crew from DI. 
They've always taken into consideration how appealing smart design is. How once it has been developed, the uses for which it was intended are beyond beneficial.

Design Indabar, a concept presented by Grolsch, to design and create two white hydraulic-controlled containers offering the most pleasant hospitality.

Bar area and upper deck for DJ

These containers are quite special, the first, contains a very sleek bar counter with basins, shelves and point-of-sale devices. Ceiling lighting and power distribution is included for 2 large refrigerators.

 A set of stairs then lifts down and is used to walk safely up to the balcony area, which is perfect for DJs, musicians and other entertainment.

The second container is slightly different. The hydraulic technology is used to raise the side doors rather than extend and lower them.

The main sliding door is lifted to create a perfect screen for films, while the interior serves as a versatile mobile gallery.

"Designed by Fly Pitcher in collaboration with Ravi Naidoo of Design Indaba, the interior and exterior surfaces of the Design Indabar can be used to project art, film, design and the like." 

Grolsch marketing manager, Mashinka Fourie said the Design Indabar was created by the perfect synergy between Grolsch and the Design Indaba.
