IID KZN Regional Meeting

The IID KZN Regional meeting took place on the 23rd February 2012 at Plaisir du Jardin on Florida Road, Durban.

The various IID Designer, Decorator and supplier members came together for this inspiring evening that was centered on ‘outdoor design’. Plaisir du Jardin is a well known supplier of outdoor furniture and accessories and their selection is absolutely amazing. With so much to choose from it can be overwhelming so we were thankful when they offered to host one of our meetings. In this way the members could view just some of the furniture and accessories on display in the showroom, sit on the chairs and enjoy the comfort of the couches and loungers.

 

A new twist to the evening was having the other IID supplier members present their outdoor products to those who attended the meeting. The speakers included:

 

• Jean-Paul Vanderhende from Plaisir du Jardin

• Gavin Manickum from Belgotex 

• Donna Plater from St. Leger and Viney 

• Debbie Schuurman from Walnut Interiors

• Henry Nel from Hertex

• Jalayne Schmahl from U&G

 

Thank you to these suppliers, we enjoyed every minute, it was a truly informative and fun-filled evening.

Jocelyn Jones, CEO of Jossi Design (PTY) LTD is also the Head of the IID KZN Region.  She briefly informed members of what the IID has been up to since the beginning of the year, and reminded members about the various marketing opportunities available through the IID and the benefits of their membership. Jocelyn also briefed those present on the upcoming events being organized through the IID as well as other local events that are possibly of interest to the members.

 

We look forward to our next meeting being held in May. The invitations to this event will be going out in April so if you are an IID Member please look out for this. If you are interested in becoming a member please visit the IID website www.iidprofessions.com
