The 2024 Saturday Indesign Afterparty was put on in association with Signature Appliances and Ovolo Hotels, creating the perfect end to the standout day in the design calendar. Around 300 guests attended the exclusive ticketed party, which was held last year in Melbourne at Industry Lanes.

With the impressive Ovolo venue nestled on the edge of the harbour among Woolloomooloo’s wharves, guests were first greeted with an elegant entry sequence as they ascended from street level into the party area. With atmospheric lighting and a spacious setting, this year’s Afterparty allowed for both extravagant fun and serene pockets where friends old and news could catch up and reflect on the day. 

The inviting Afterparty was populated with a wide cross-section of the design community, from showroom CEOs and high-profile designers to student volunteers who helped keep things moving at venues throughout the day. 

Saturday Indesign is an action-packed day that takes over the design scene of a full city each year. Following Melbourne in 2023, it was Sydney’s turn again this year, with thousands of people ­– primarily architects, developers, design hunters, industrial designers, interior designers, manufacturers, product suppliers and specifiers – waltzing between the dozens of showrooms that opened their doors for the day.

Sydney was organised into several precincts for Saturday Indesign on 7^th September, including Alexandria, Surry Hills and Paddington. The rhythm of the day will be a familiar one for attendees, as the morning calm before the storm soon becomes a frantic and fascinating dash between different showrooms. A series of stimulating design talks added substance and depth to the day, with many design practices touring groups around on buses to hop on and off at various venues. 

As the afternoon faded and lunch offerings gave way to drinks, the atmosphere turned more towards the partying that culminates at the official Afterparty. As one of the largest and most successful Saturday Indesign events yet, the evening gathering was a fitting way to bring the whole day to a fun conclusion. 

A huge thank you to all of our exhibitors, partners and attendees for making Saturday Indesign 2024 so special – and especially to all those who attended the Afterparty at Ovolo Woolloomooloo thanks to Singature Appliances.

The 2024 edition will include all of the things that have built Saturday Indesign’s reputation over the years, as well as some exciting new features to look forward to. This year, we are introducing the Design Passport Prize, a new accolade up for grabs. To be eligible for the draw of what will be a prize worth in excess of $5000, revellers simply need to attend ten or more showrooms and collect the visits on their design passport for the day.

A range of panel discussion will return in 2024 too. Last year, topics ranged from tips on design publishing and pitches to graduate experiences across architecture and design, with guests both domestic and international. Panel talks will feature as a highlight once, with a series of discussions set to be announced at different venues across the morning.

Venues will be clustered across the most creative districts of Sydney, with design districts covering Alexandria, Surry Hills, Darlinghurst, Chippendale and more. At the latest count, there will be 28 showrooms opening their doors – possibly more! Hop-on-hop-off buses will of course be there to help fill your design passports too, as well as VIP buses.

Nor would it be Saturday Indesign without the renowned afterpary! This year’s official gathering is set to take place at Ovolo Woolloomooloo with Signature Appliance – also the official tote partner – while the Saturday Indesign hydration partner in 2024 is Anterior XL.

There will be installations and creative projects on show across different venues – stay tuned for more information on those as we get closer to the main event.

Finally, make sure you get in touch if you’re interested in being a volunteer for Saturday Indesign 2024. It’s an excellent opportunity to meet people from across the industry – plus, you’ll receive a subscription to one of our titles as well as discounted entry to the afterparty!
