Discover the best new products
Products are the star of the show in Darlinghurst and Paddington, with everything from new launches to legacy lines all on show. This precinct features some of Sydney’s most established names for a celebration of local and international design with a focus on innovation. Head to Cult for the launch of Adam Goodrum’s latest range and another from Wendelbo, while District will also be celebrating a new collection by Adam Cornish. It’s a whole new world for Gohome, who will celebrate the launch of their Sydney showroom at Saturday Indesign, while ownworld and Stylecraft will both create a visual narrative of timeless design.
Treat yourself
Saturday Indesign is a big event day, but thanks to our exhibitors, you won’t be doing design on an empty stomach, with plenty of pit stops popping up across the different showrooms. 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.
Hear from industry experts with inspiring panel discussions
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.
