To mark the official opening of its Design Icons exhibition, Cult hosted an unforgettable event in the Sydney showroom.
March 1st, 2023
As one of Australia’s leading furniture brands, and the home of many iconic originals – Cult celebrated its 25th anniversary with an exhibition of 25 hand-picked pieces of furniture.
The exhibition launch, which was attended by Sydney’s design community, showcased some of the most innovative and inspiring designs from the last quarter-century. Held at the stylish Chippendale showroom in Sydney, the official opening party marked the launch of the exhibition with a huge turnout from the design community.


The pieces on display were each carefully selected by an industry creative, showcasing a diverse range of styles, from classic to contemporary, and everything in between. The event was not just an opportunity to celebrate Cult’s 25th anniversary, but it was also a chance to celebrate the broader design community in Sydney.
Guests were treated to a night of entertainment and fun, with a dance floor replete with a disco ball, which provided the perfect backdrop for guests to dance the night away. Handcrafted cocktails made with Four Pillars Gin were on hand to provide guests with delicious drinks throughout the evening, as well as a selection of beer and wine.
