Treat yourself

Start the day off at District with breakfast pastries from local favourites A.P Bakery, while Gohome will be offering chef-made reuben sandwiches for lunch. If you’re feeling peckish in the afternoon, Cult will have pastries to nibble on while you chat with top designers, while a stop by Innerspace’s Wimbledon-inspired lawn is a must-do. Jardan will be mixing cocktails in their after-dark lounge, while Stylecraft will be serving up delicacies all day, with granola and coffee in the morning, lobster rolls for lunch, gelato for afternoon tea, and aperitivo as the sun starts to set.

If you’re on the lookout for some fresh insights and leading design knowledge, the Saturday Indesign talks program is where it’s at. Stop by Jardan for the precinct’s first Design Discussion, where you’ll hear from the likes of Tim Phillips, Nick Garnham, Chris Fox, and moderator Clémence Carayol on sustainability in the design process. At 11am, Innerspace and Stylecraft will both have talks in their spaces, with the former hosting an intimate conversation on emotional and everlasting design with Ross Didier and Alice Blackwood, and the latter looking at creativity, curiosity, innovation, and partnerships in next-gen materials with a host of industry-leading names in sustainability.

The post Head to Paddington & Darlinghurst this Saturday Indesign for an event experience not to forget! appeared first on Saturday Indesign.

If you’re new to Saturday Indesign, you can expect to be amazed and engaged, with immersive experiences held across a curated event map spanning Alexandria, Waterloo, Surry Hills, Darlinghurst, and Paddington. Forget everything you think you know about design events, because Saturday Indesign is in a league of its own. Running like a “choose your own adventure”, this event sees attendees criss-cross around the city, hopping on and off our event buses and they head into showrooms that have put on timed events, hospitality, and installations for this one off day.

The best part? Everything is totally, 100% free, with just a simple registration giving you access to all the locations, transport, events, food, and drink put on across the event. 

All you need to do is complete your free registration, then be sure to check the event map, check the on-day itinerary, and get in early to secure your exclusive Signature Appliances tote bag. If you’re somehow still not sold, read on and discover the five reasons you absolutely have to be at Saturday Indesign on Saturday September 7. 

Make new connections and discover Sydney’s best showrooms

The beauty of Saturday Indesign is in its format, where showrooms become their own mini event ecosystems. Instead of visiting brands at a trade show stand, you’ll get to know them better, experiencing them on their home ground to meet their teams, see all their products, and understand their offerings, services, and identity.

For 2024, we have some of Sydney’s best exhibitors on show, either opening up their showroom doors, operating from a satellite space, or sharing a fellow exhibitor’s showroom to get you to the most connections possible across a full day of design.

This year’s exhibitors include: Abey Australia, Academy Tiles, Anterior XL, Autex Acoustics, Cult, DECO Australia, DesignByThem, District, Elton Group, Florabelle Living, Gaggenau, Gohome, Haworth, Infinity Commercial Furniture, Innerspace, Jardan, K5 Furniture, Kaolin Porcelain Surfaces, Kave Home, Klaro Industrial Design, La Cornue, LightCo, Living Edge, Maxton Fox, Milliken, Molmic, ownworld, Pure Interiors, Savage Design, Seeho Su, Special Lights, Stylecraft, V-ZUG, and Winnings. 

Score some sweet prizes

Saturday Indesign wouldn’t be complete without an iconic prize pool, and this year we’re taking it up a notch, with the inaugural Design Passport in play throughout the event. Featuring a prize pool worth over $35,000, the Design Passport is open to attendees who check in to 10 or more showrooms throughout the day and is the easiest way to win big at Saturday Indesign. 

Be on the forefront of local and international design

Saturday Indesign is a must-attend for those looking to get out in front of the pack, with a program of talks and product launches that will deliver you a fresh serving of newness to supercharge your specification.

If talks are your thing, there’s a selection of curated Design Discussions that will have your name on them, including sessions on Australian aesthetics, kitchen design, adaptive reuse, women in architecture and design, product design, outdoor design, and sustainability. If you still can’t get enough, you’ll find other talks rolling out across different showrooms, with the likes of Kave Home, DesignByThem, Living Edge, Innerspace, K5 & Elton Group,  Molmic, and Stylecraft all hosting their own sessions.

Top up your fresh knowledge with new products and be the first to see some of the country’s most anticipated launches. From Haworth’s new Task Chair and Milliken’s new carpet collection, to premium induction cooking at Gaggenau and new furniture by Cult, you’ll see newness everywhere you look at Saturday Indesign. 

Recharge your design inspiration with The Project

Saturday Indesign alumni know that The Project is one of the best features of the event, showcasing incredible design collaborations for bespoke installations. This year promises to have inspiration coming in spades, with creations that are all must-sees. 

First up, Maxton Fox and Kaolin have partnered with PTW for a striking fusion of classic shapes and contemporary composition, while K5 and Elton Group have partnered with artist Jasper Knight to bring commissioned art pieces to life. Not to be outdone, V-ZUG and the Whitehouse Institute of Design have created a studio gallery within the V-ZUG showroom, and Klaro Industrial Design and DECO Australia have collaborated with the students from Billy Blue College of Design for “Project Wander”. Finally, Autex Acoustics and Infinity Commercial Furniture have also connected with the Whitehouse Institute of Design to create an abstract underwater world that explores what it means to “reawaken”. 

See Sydney on Show

Every Saturday Indesign is an opportunity to see a city put on a show, and this year is no different, with the best of Sydney distilled into the full-day event. Find local favourites Mecca Coffee, AP Bakery, Cow and Moon Gelato, Messina Gelato, Brooklyn Boy Bagels, and Archie Rose popping up across different showrooms, while nightlife legend Brenton Parkes will also be on the decks into the late afternoon. 

If you’re looking for a bit of international flair, Anterior XL are serving up an Italian feast, Kave Home are dishing out paella and striking up some Flamenco, Seeho Su are leaning into Asian Fusion, La Cornue have got an all-french affair, gohome have reuben sandwiches, Florabelle Living have mediterranean snacks and live jazz, Pure Interiors are also serving Italian dishes,  and LightCo are putting on a barbeque and beers.

Following a high energy, design fuelled, connection creating Sydney event in 2022, Saturday Indesign has its sights set on Melbourne for 2023! That’s right – the design industry’s favourite event is heading south, coming to Melbourne on Saturday September 2, 2023. So jot the date down and clear your schedule because this is a day of design you won’t want to miss!

Since inception, Saturday indesign has been about pairing up the best design showrooms with architects, designers and design lovers in a curated platform for genuine connections and lasting relationships. In 2022 we saw some of the best local and international brands participate including Anterior XL, Caroma, Dedece, District, Flokk, Fred International, Herman Miller, Ignite Fireplace Studio, Interface, JANUS Et Cie, Kaolin, Koda Lighting, Krost, Laine Furnishings, Living Edge, Maker&Son, Molmic, Polytec, Real Flame, Savage Design, SeehoSu, Space Furniture, Special Lights, Squarebear, Steelcase, Stormtech, Stylecraft, Sussex Taps, Technogym, Thinkingworks, Wilkhahn, Winning Appliances. Activating across Sydney, visitors had the chance to explore a full day of  product launches, panel discussions, workshops and exclusive parties, getting around with help of our transport partner Neolith.

In 2022 The entire event also got a little bit greener thanks to inaugural Sustainability Partners Autex Acoustics and Interface, who contributed to carbon offsetting, sourcing event collateral with a lower environmental impact and helping to build a conversation around event and design sustainability. With Saturday Indesign 2023 already in the works, the challenge is on to continue to improve the environmental footprint of all design events!

Now, we look ahead and begin to imagine Melbourne transforming into a utopia of design, where the city is taken over by the most creative brands, showrooms and names in our industry as they bring you the best of design locally, nationally and internationally.

The post Look out Melbourne, Saturday Indesign is coming in 2023 appeared first on Saturday Indesign.

2,000 architects, designers and design lovers braved wild weather and a federal election for SID 2022, descending on this year’s event as they worked their way around 31 exhibitors in 25 showrooms across four dynamic design precincts. Sydney’s design scene was front and centre, as new connections were made, products and showrooms launched, talks and workshops held and hospitality was served.

Miss out on all the fun? Relive the best of the 2022 Saturday Indesign program below!

Alexandria

The biggest precinct of 2022 didn’t hold back any punches, ensuring there really was something for everyone. From Krost’s all-day waffle bar and beer garden, to Maker&Son’s jumping photoshoot set in an indoor forest, and Space Furniture’s immersive and futuristic installation, Alexandria was buzzing from start to finish.

Living Edge set the tone with DJ’s, donuts and a multi-coloured tribute to Gufram’s Cactus. Inside the space, collaborating partners Herman Miller hosted one of the talks-of-the-day, where a panel dived into the future of working.

The precinct held installations a-plenty, with The Project providing fertile ground for some incredible creative collaborations: Porter’s Paints and PTW wowed with suspended colour fabrics creating a journey based on the science of colour; Kaolin partnered with ARM Architecture to create a permanent display which used circular patterns to speak to regeneration; Anterior XL and Plus Architecture installed an innovative and reusable demountable structural stone system; and Stormtech made use of show partner Caroma’s impressive bathroom showroom to present a collaborative work with Squillace, where illuminating cubes of offcuts highlighted recycling and sustainability practices.

Residential design got a moment to shine at Molmic’s relaxing space, while Ignite Fireplace studio worked with Steelcase to keep us warm with impressive displays and mulled wine.

CBD

The precinct that never sleeps: the CBD started early and partied into the night, while still making sure everyone got a wholesome, wellness fix. Visitors to the CBD formally kicked off their Saturday Indesign experience the evening before the event, with event veterans District going off-schedule with an exclusive launch of their brand new showroom. Hosting international guests from Normann Copenhagen (who made a second appearance on Saturday!), the showroom launched in style and set a high precedent for the day that followed.

Visitor favourites and returning brand Stylecraft brought us a captivating talk on education, but ensured learning was done in style with drinks and canapes served on their commercial floor, with sweeping city views and DJs into the night. This carried on into dedece where getting published and designing for an Instagram age was a standout in the afternoon scheduling block.

Learning was kept front and centre at Thinking Works and Squarebear, where experts spoke on topics ranging from Sustainability, Modern Slavery and Wellbeing in the Workplace.

On the periphery of the CBD, newcomers Technogym and JANUS et Cie gave us an injection of wellness and wellbeing. Technogym showed us the crème de la crème of fitness design while JANUS et Cie’s floral-based installation spilled onto the streets of Rushcutters Bay, inviting passersby in for a pasta workshop set amongst leading outdoor furniture. 

Surry Hills

With a focus on smaller showrooms and curated displays, Surry Hills – as the CBD’s partner in crime – was a hub of activity from start to finish. Savage Design and Sussex Taps was a must-visit for many, where a collaboration all about craftsmanship and considered design gave way to an immersive showroom tour. Many attendees also got their first look at Flokk’s showroom, as well as at their launch of the HÅG Tion, arguably the world’s most sustainable task chair.

Over at Wilkhahn, a morning talk on workplace was an informative precursor to an afternoon Ping-Pong tournament, while for many, the afternoon location of choice was Fred International, where people flocked to the design-led space to hear Jan Henderson in conversation with Australian design icon William Smart. 

Waterloo

The Waterloo district kicked off Saturday morning with an early start at Winning Appliances, where a VIP breakfast was followed by the first official scheduled activation: a talk on the future of retail spaces, held beneath the impressive domed ceilings of SJB’s “Casba”. A short stroll away was SeehoSu and Koda Lighting, where Koda presented the future of lighting (see Vibia’s Plusminus) with a side of paella and a swig of sangria, while Seeho Su brought the house down with a talk on sustainability in their brand new showroom. 

Sydney culinary legends Messina Gelato and Archie Rose popped up at Infinity Commercial Furniture, who partnered with Polytec and Laine furnishings to create a holistic showroom experience, while Special Lights brought in Brokenwood Wines to curate wine pairings with some of their standout lighting products.

Program Highlights

Beyond the precincts, Sydney studios zipped around in private buses, where a VIP experience elevated the Saturday Indesign experience for 15 lucky teams. At an event where connections are at the heart, the Studio Buses – which returned for their second year – proved an enjoyable way to promote team building, navigate the event and take the party on wheels. The studio buses, along with our iconic hop-on/hop-off bus fleet, were proudly sponsored by Neolith, who ensured that Saturday Indesign kept moving.

The entire event also got a little bit greener thanks to inaugural Sustainability Partners Autex Acoustics and Interface, who contributed to carbon offsetting, sourcing event collateral with a lower environmental impact and helping to build a conversation around event and design sustainability. With Saturday Indesign 2023 already in the works, the challenge is on to continue to improve the environmental footprint of all design events!
