Words by James Lyall Smith

All Created For The Purpose Of Connecting Local And International Brands With The Australian Design Industry.

Saturday InDesign returns in 2019 for its fifteenth year, in the process reaffirming the event’s commitment to fuelling creative inspiration whilst simultaneously supporting the collective power of the Australian design industry.

At its core, Saturday InDesign is a one-day design extravaganza, Disneyland for design enthusiasts and industry professionals alike. This year the event will be taking place in Melbourne on Saturday June 22 and will feature a unique mix of eye catching collaboratively designed installations, design workshops, talks and pop-up showcases, all created for the purpose of connecting local and international brands with the Australian design industry.

But Also To Bring Us Together As A Design Community

Australian building products company Brickworks will be hosting a special installation designed by design firm SJB in their brand new showroom space.

Collaborating with Dowel Jones and polytec, the ownworld showroom will be bringing its renowned hospitality as well as being the site for a nostalgic work installation, which will accompany a series of brand new releases from Dowel Jones – and Saturday InDesign visitors will have a first-time glimpse.

The List Of Partners And Exhibitors Includes Household Names From Australia And Around The World.

“Events like Saturday InDesign are so important not only to promote the incredible Australian designers and companies on show, but also to bring us together as a design community,” states Saturday InDesign Ambassador, Tom Reid from DesignOffice. “Our geographical isolation from the rest of the world has always been seen as a bit of a curse, but I think it has helped us to create such a strong community and confident Australian design identity – and it is events like Saturday InDesign that helps to foster this.”

As a large and intricately layered space, visitors to Design Precinct can take in the latest offerings from the best Italian brands, and in partnership with Dulux and Artisan furniture, visitors can also catch some talks.
