Overview
After a three-year hiatus, The Big Design Market makes its return to Sydney this September. The three-day independent design extravaganza will hit Barangaroo's expansive event space The Cutaway and feature more than 200 designers from across the country. As always, the market will showcase original and ethically made designs from small to medium makers.
Once you've made it to the waterside venue, you'll want plenty of time to explore. The curated lineup includes Au Revoir Les Filles and its sparkling jewels, bush botanical-rich skincare from Bush Medijina and the bright, belly-buttoned ceramic vessels from the delightfully named Voluptuary Ceramics. You can also fill your basket with tasty groceries from Really Good People and the saucy experts at Condimental. Then, there's the cute-as-pie berets from France Island (hello to this berry-inspired baby).
Should you grow hungry mid-shop, you can grab a sweet treat from local faves Shortstop and Natas and Co — plus Melbourne's Billy Van Creamy is coming interstate with its winning scoops. Want something more substantial? There's poke bowls and pies, pho and sambos — plus St Ali, Archie Rose and East Forged (among others) to keep you hydrated.
The cashless event is set to be a stellar day out, and the ideal opportunity to spruce up your space and chat to the designers behind your favourite pieces.
The Big Design Market will hit The Cutaway on Friday, September 9 (10am–9pm); Saturday, September 10 (10am–6pm); and Sunday, September 11 (10am–5pm). To check out the full lineup, head to the website.
