The Guild Design Fair brings together a tightly edited selection of furniture and objects from local and international designers inside The Lookout, in Cape Town's Granger Bay

随着设计印巴作为开普敦春季历法的常规装饰品，以及开普敦艺术博览会的第二年，一个高档国际设计博览会已经来到现场，这并不奇怪。公会设计博览会的首次亮相（运行到3月9日）开始效仿巴塞尔、迈阿密和米兰的最佳产品，同时在混合中加入新的“非洲人”。

只有五家商业画廊参展，其中包括米兰的罗萨纳·奥兰迪和纽约的R。

这里有丰富的人才。麦高文说，我经常被制作者联系，他计划专注于而不是扩大她的关系网。去年10月，该画廊的一些作品推出了约翰内斯堡新的非洲设计博物馆(Museum Of Africa Design)，而行会弹出式商店Artisan则以麦高万挑选的较小的限量版珠宝、陶瓷和配件为特色。

麦高文计划行会成为年度盛会。到目前为止，反馈基本上都是积极的。Orlandi说：“我不想卖掉很多东西，但有很多国际收藏家，超出了通常的人群。这真是个大惊喜。

The exhibition and its sculpture garden explore 'the theme of "making" at an elevated, collectible level,' says the fair's co-founder Trevyn McGowan

For more than a decade, McGowan and her husband Julian have been well-known trailblazers of high-end African design. Their gallery, Southern Guild, was founded in 2008, and since then, they have focused on producing limited-edition pieces from more than 50 of the country's best designers and artists, many of which are represented at Guild Design Fair
