Johannesburg, 17 February 2025 – Lexus proudly announces its continued partnership with the Investec Cape Town Art Fair (ICTAF) for the fifth consecutive year. Known for its refined automotive luxury, Lexus is expanding its influence beyond the road and into the world of art and design. This collaboration underscores the brand’s commitment to pioneering innovation, exquisite craftsmanship, and sustainable practices.
A Fusion of Mobility and Mastery
As the official vehicle partner for ICTAF 2025, Lexus is set to provide VIP guests with an unparalleled arrival experience marked by comfort and style. More than a sponsorship, this partnership offers a dynamic platform for the brand to celebrate visionary artistic concepts that push the boundaries of design, sustainability, and creativity.
At the heart of Lexus’s ethos is the Japanese principle of Takumi—the art of mastery. With decades of experience, Takumi craftsmen bring meticulous precision and artistry to every vehicle. From hand-pleated door trims to the intricate kiriko glass accents, each Lexus creation is a seamless fusion of heritage and innovation. This philosophy extends to Lexus’s global collaborations at prestigious art and design events such as Design Miami, RMB Latitudes Art Fair, and Decorex Africa.
Simon Humphries, Chief Branding Officer and Head of Lexus Global Design, encapsulates this vision:
“Lexus views design as more than just aesthetics; it is an emotional interplay of functionality, imagination, and innovation. Through our support of art and design platforms, we align ourselves with creators who are shaping the future of beauty and ingenuity.”
A Celebration of Art, Design, and Sustainability
The Investec Cape Town Art Fair stands as a premier showcase for contemporary art, providing a stage for Africa’s diverse creative voices. For Lexus, the event is an opportunity to bring its philosophy of Omotenashi—the Japanese spirit of anticipating and delivering unique, thoughtful experiences—to a broader audience.
Sustainability lies at the core of Lexus’s dual commitment to art and luxury. At the 2024 ICTAF, Lexus captivated visitors with an immersive installation inspired by its all-electric model, the Lexus RZ. Featuring sustainable materials, fluid forms, and evocative lighting, the installation highlighted the seamless integration of advanced technology with nature, inviting viewers to imagine a future where design and sustainability go hand in hand.
Innovation with a Conscience
By championing ICTAF, Lexus reinforces the belief that design transcends visual appeal—it’s about evoking emotion and driving meaningful change. Through its unwavering focus on sustainability and artistry, Lexus is fueling a global conversation about the transformative role of creativity in shaping the future of mobility and our shared world.
