With a refreshing splash of aqua, an energising burst of orange or a calming hint of lavender,
colour has the potential to shape the spaces we inhabit both visually and emotionally – and
no one knows this better than interior designers and decorators. Which is why three highly
regarded local studios will showcase the power of colour in immersive and captivating
Plascon Colour Design Pods at this year's Decorex Africa shows. Get ready to dive into a
colour experience with Hocus Interior Design Studio, Okhre Collective, and Mezzanine
Interiors.
Taking to the floor at Decorex Cape Town (6 - 9 June 2024, CTICC) and Decorex Joburg
from (1 - 4 August 2024, Sandton Convention Centre), the Plascon Colour Design Pods will
push these designers to explore and showcase the diverse and dynamic possibilities of
colour using the Plascon Colour Forecast for 2024. Dubbed ‘Vibrant Harmony’, this
installation aims to bring together the dynamic world of interior design and the latest colour
trends.
Mezzanine Interiors was founded in 1999 by interior designer Lee-Ann Bell. The interior
design studio and furniture brand based in Johannesburg has an impressive portfolio
spanning multiple corporate clients, and residential projects across South Africa and Dubai.
Stand-out retail projects include the popular Johannesburg neighbourhood café Croft & Co.
Hocus Interior Design Studio, based in Green Point, Cape Town, is another longstanding
studio set to demonstrate colour artistry. Established by Marcelle Crowther in 1995, Hocus
Interior Design Studio is a stalwart Decorex exhibitor previously named by Anne Roselt, a
former Colour Manager at Plascon, as the stand with the most inspiring use of colour.
Lastly, Ohkre Collective is a design-led architecture and interior design studio founded by
architects Phillip Nel and Heinrich van Zyl. With an impressive team of architects and interior
designers, Ohkre has earned a reputation for creating spaces and places that inspire and
captivate, such as The Sensorium Spa at Future Found Sanctuary, and is known for
numerous beachside residential homes.
To create the installation pods, each studio will choose a curated selection of colours from
the four colour palettes of Plascon’s 2024 Colour Forecast: The Dive In Colour Palette,
Origin Colour Palette, Eternal Colour Palette and Succulent Colour Palette.
Dive In’s aquatic allure is captured in nature-inspired blue hues including the vivid Caribbean
Sea (G7-A1-2) and North Beach (B4-B1-1), and more gentle Aqua Pura (G7-C2-2) and
Innuendo (B3-B1-3); while the Origin Colour Palette blends classic monochromes – Ewa
(72) and Light Reflection (Y6-A2-3) – with natural warmth like Rich Spanish Gold (Y1-C1-1),
Ginger Biscuit (O1-C1-1) and Turkish Tart (Y2-B1-3).
With its dusky, romantic shades, like Grey Archo (P1-E1-3), Ravine (62) and Fragrant
Flower (B7-D1-4), the Eternal Colour Palette stands in stark contrast to the Succulent Colour
Palette which captures botanical vibrancy in Cedarburg (O4-A1-1), Majestic Mountain (G2-
D1-1) and Lemon Tang (Y6-A1-3).
‘Each Plascon Colour Design Pod will serve as a canvas for creativity, allowing the brands to
express their unique design vision and highlight the versatility of Plascon’s colour range,’
says Peter N Mukarakate, Colour Specialist at Plascon. ‘We are excited to collaborate with
these esteemed brands to create an unforgettable visual experience at Decorex 2024.’
The Plascon Colour Design Pods marks Plascon’s latest involvement in Decorex, after
nearly 30 years of longstanding support of the leading decor and design platform in Africa.
