The post Surry Hills has everything you need for an incredible Saturday Indesign experience 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.

The moody showroom was designed by local hospitality-design mavens Carr and is a true realisation of Gaggenau’s illustrious history. And we’re stoked to announce that it is also Shortlisted in the 2019 INDE.Awards.

“In 2003, Saturday Indesign changed the landscape for exhibiting products and brands to the A&D community. We are very excited to be involved with the latest incarnation of SID and the new format for this event. Having just opened Gaggenau Melbourne in 2018, this is a great opportunity to share our product and brand, to provide visitors with an immersion into the Gaggenau world. Come and experience Gaggenau and Cosentino at Gaggenau Melbourne on 22 June,” says Robert Warner, general manager Gaggenau Australia.

Cosentino

What better way to show the beauty of Cosentino’s Dekton surfaces than in a sumptuous appliance showroom where the company will be sharing with Gaggenau. Although the finer details are yet to be revealed (definitely keep an ear to the ground on this one), you can be rest assured that it will be a day complete with the best in hospitality experiences – in what is an utterly complementary partnership.

Arthur G

For those who have experienced the surprise and delight on offer at Saturday Indesign, you may remember a collaboration where Arthur G transformed its Richmond showroom into a trip to the Mad Hatter’s tea party. What’s in store for Saturday Indesign 2019? We’re being rather mum about it, but the bar has been set high, that’s for sure.

Mokum

Bringing fabrics to life, Mokum joins the fray partnering with Arthur G for Saturday Indesign. Offering style and substance, Mokum textiles are created by bringing together patterns, materials and unique production techniques from around the world. What will we see at Saturday Indesign – whatever it may be, it is sure to be elegant and fresh.

CDK Stone

One of Australia’s leading suppliers of natural stone, CDK Stone sits at the forefront. Long-time exhibitors of Saturday Indesign, we can’t wait to see all the latest from these guys and word on the street it will be an amazing collection of new stones from all around the world. Partnering with Zip Water this year there will be a fusion of the senses in the shape of earth and water.

Zip Water

Joining as Platinum Partner is Zip Water. Water you say? Zip will be popping up all around Melbourne with hydration stations to keep everyone feeling fresh. In addition, you can catch Zip setting up home with CDK Stone. “Zip Water has been working collaboratively with Saturday Indesign for many years and are pleased to again be one of the major partners for such a valued industry event that showcases and supports both local and international brands. We’re looking forward to experiencing the latest in homegrown talent and global trends and we’re excited to showcase some impressive new innovations from Zip Water,” shares Tom Fisher, Marketing Director Zip Water.

King Living

A definite destination of Richmond, the King Living showroom will be transformed for Saturday Indesign, including the latest from some of the big lights, with Tom Fereday presenting his latest products. And not only that, King Living is our official bag partner – so you know it will be something covetable and design-worthy to tote around.

Ownworld

Located in the heart of the hipster haven that is Collingwood, Ownworld’s showroom will be transformed into an unmissable design destination. Representing some of the favourite brands from Europe like Gubi, Inclass and Bensen, Ownworld has continued to build a reputation for itself through its discernible design offering. Expect a warm welcome and some of the latest out of Europe at Saturday Indesign, as director Peter Beikmanis shares: “For us, Saturday Indesign is all about welcoming people straight into our showroom and offering them a generous and inspiring hospitality experience that’s reflective of our brand.”

Which leads into…

Dowel Jones

Having long been the darlings of the Australian design scene, Dowel Jones is now represented at Ownworld and will join the fray in their showroom as part of Saturday Indesign. Colourful, charming, locally-made – the defining characteristics of Dowel Jones will no doubt make a splash.

Polytec

Integral to the logistics of Saturday Indesign is, of course, the buses and they are back baby, with our bus partner Polytec. AND not only is Polytec our transport partner but will also be sharing and showcasing its endless options for laminate surfaces in Ownworld’s Collingwood base. Polytec always brings it at Saturday Indesign and we can only imagine what cool ideas will be cooked up.

Vola

The Danish tapware brand Vola celebrated its 50^th birthday in 2018. And alongside such a milestone event it also opened a brand new showroom in Collingwood. The showroom is the first Australian outpost and features original exposed bricks – and most importantly, fully equipped and handcrafted taps. What can we expect to see for Saturday Indesign? More will be revealed.

Brickworks

The absolutely incredible (and brand spanking new) Brickworks showroom in Melbourne’s CBD will be one of the many stages for the festivities of Saturday Indesign. A brick showroom like no other, Brickworks’ new Melbourne is a feast for the eyes and well worth experiencing. Brickworks is also working with SJB for something hush hush that is sure to surprise and inspire.

You may have noticed that we’ve done away with set ‘precincts’. No longer dominated by these set-out hubs, Saturday Indesign will this year be focused on the most engaging showrooms, with only stand-out installations to learn and interact with. And of course, what would a Saturday Indesign be without buses? You can get around easily thanks to our Transport Partner Polytec. Routes, bespoke tours and timetable to come.
