Design Quarter in Fourways is turning its centre court into a seasonal stage of craft and conviviality when the much-loved Vintage Décor & Gift Show (Festive Edition) returns for two days only on Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 December 2025. The market—renowned for its careful curation of homeware, collectables and artisanal wares—promises shoppers a concentrated dose of South African creativity just in time for the holidays.
Where discovery meets good taste
This isn’t a generic mall pop-up; Design Quarter’s Vintage Décor & Gift Show is a hand-picked marketplace that reads like a short-course in local design. Every stall is chosen for story as much as style: bespoke home décor, timeless fashion pieces, handcrafted jewellery, fresh floral arrangements, festive baubles and mouth-watering deli treats will sit alongside seasonal bakes and artisanal food vendors. Shoppers wanting presents with provenance will find thoughtful gift ideas and limited-run pieces that resist the mass-produced mold.
A seasonal soundtrack of food, music and convenience
Beyond browsing, visitors can savour a small festival of seasonal experiences: live festive music and carols will give the market a warm, communal tempo, while a dedicated gift-wrapping station removes the last-minute stress from holiday shopping. Whether you’re hunting for a statement piece for your home, a hostess gift, or the kind of small luxury that makes a season memorable, the market is designed to make the hunt pleasurable rather than frantic.
Design Quarter: style, dining and discovery under one roof
Newly revamped in 2023, Design Quarter has positioned itself as Fourways’ premium design and lifestyle destination — a place where considered retail meets good dining and relaxed discovery. The Vintage Décor & Gift Show underscores that ambition, concentrating local SMMEs, designers and makers in a weekend that showcases their work to a design-conscious audience.

A market that matters
In a season of noise and haste, Design Quarter’s festive weekend offers a quieter, better kind of indulgence: the pleasure of giving well-made things and the small rituals—music, food, wrapped gifts—that make the holidays feel like more than a shopping sprint. For shoppers who prize craft, quality and a sense of discovery, this two-day event promises to be one of the more elegant stops on Johannesburg’s festive calendar.
