The 2016 Design Indaba kicked off in Cape Town yesterday and attendees can look forward a week full of high-energy and informative talks, events and exhibitions. After all the delicious design consumption, they need a place to process, preferably with an artisanal cocktail in hand. To help, Cape Town's agency creatives share their top city bowl chill-out and party spots.

In other design news, as part of #DesignMonth Sindy Peters interviews Michael Farr, group GM of corporate brand and communications of Sun International and I interview Gareth Hadden and Grant Orchard about their stage and production design company, Formative.

Our new competitions include a ticket give-away to Of Monsters and Men in Cape Town, Park Acoustics featuring aKing and next Sunday's Kirstenbosch Summer Sunset Concert featuring The Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra.
