So Watt 10th Birthday Party

Overview

Marrickville's made-to-order furniture and joinery studio, So Watt, is turning ten, and it's throwing a free birthday bash to celebrate. Featuring delicious food, local drinks, prizes and DJ-spun tunes, this party is one to add to your calendar.

On Saturday, October 11, So Watt will open its showroom and workshop for a peek behind the scenes. It's a chance to meet the team and check out its sustainable and Australian-made approach to furniture, with drinks and dancing included. Running from the afternoon into the evening, this one-night-only event is set to be a true Marrickville-style community celebration.

Expect food courtesy of refugee-led kitchen initiative, FoodLab Sydney, and drinks from Thirstville. There's even a limited edition ten-year birthday beer created in collaboration with Kicks Brewing. Named Against The Grain, it's a DDH Hazy Pale Ale that celebrates local crafters and the community.

Add prizes up for grabs, vinyl tunes by DJ Juzz One, and a room full of design lovers, and you've got a birthday bash worth raising a glass to.

Plus, if you've always wanted to have your own So Watt piece, this is your chance. The team is running a raffle on the day, with the main prize being a $1500 So Watt voucher. The team is also taking ten percent off orders placed on the day, so consider this your sign to support local Australian makers.

Despite being around for a decade, this is So Watt's first showroom launch, meaning it's a chance to get to know the family-owned and operated Marrickville business. So Watt has a sustainable focus on furniture that highlights the natural resource of plywood — no fibreboard or fake wood-grain laminates here, only the real stuff.

Speaking with Concrete Playground earlier this year, co-owner and designer Sophie Biet reflected on their decade in business.

"After ten years, we feel like this is still only the beginning … We've been learning and watching, and are excited to be working on some pretty big concepts to crack the industry open and allow homeowners a more accessible option for custom furniture and joinery that isn't complicated and won't break the bank."

Intrigued? Come and celebrate a Marrickville success story in true community style. Grab your mates, raise a glass and join the So Watt crew for a free birthday celebration this October.
