Sydney Indesign
13-15 August 2015
sydneyindesign.com.au
Showcasing the most revolutionary
ideas and game-changing new products
from high-end international and regional
brands, leading architects and designers.
Sydney Indesign
Overview
12 Years. 5 Cities. 110,000 Visitors.
For over a decade, we’ve been staging
Indesign: The Event, alternating yearly
between Sydney and Melbourne, and
branching out to Brisbane, Singapore
and recently Hong Kong.
Formerly known as Saturday in Design,
the event started with the inspiration that a
design event should itself be highly designed
– immersive, curated and experiential. This
led to our non-traditional event format,
allowing showrooms to communicate their
distinct brand cultures, entertain people and
showcase international and Australian-made
product in the full spotlight of their own
space, rather than a regimented trade hall.
Our experiential approach was a hit, and
we’ve continued with it ever since, evolving
from Saturday in Design to the larger scale
Indesign: The Event. What we’ve retained
across 12 years, five international cities and
110,000 visitors is our bespoke approach, for
an experience that feels boutique and local.

How the Sydney Indesign
Event Works
Precincts, Program & Logistics
Position your brand at the helm of high
powered, forward-thinking architecture

Sydney Indesign works by embedding your
showroom or pop-up space in a highly
organised, richly programmed experiential
format. Showrooms around Sydney are united
in distinct design precincts: Alexandria,
Chippendale, Darlinghurst, Surry Hills, Redfern/
Waterloo. These are closely interlinked by
design trails, curated pop-up spaces and our
fleet of free, all-day shuttle buses, running
constantly between every attraction.

The Project initiative
Our creative match-making service
Unlock your product’s potential: take part in
our collaboration series, The Project.
The Project is our crowd-pulling collaboration
series. We connect event Exhibitors with
architects, designers, students, artists, or
creatives in any medium, give you a general
theme (e.g. ‘Process’), and then you’re free to
come up with an exciting installation together.
This gives the event a lively injection of
creativity, and shows you what can happen
when ambitious design minds work your
product to its most imaginative potential.
