Keen to flex your creative design prowess? We’re hunting for hungry design talent.

Calling all creatives! We want you to collaborate on Saturday Indesign

(L-R) Stormtech x HDR (formerly Rice Daubney) collaboration at SID 2013. And The tower of burning replicas, or Hill St Bonfire, 2015 by Toko with Arthur G, Euroluce, Workshopped and Luxmy Furniture at Saturday Indesign 2015.

Remember when you were studying and your design briefs were so open you could well and truly let your imagination fly? It was no doubt all part and parcel for why you fell in love with design – a heady mix of collaboration, creative thinking and turning ideas into a reality.  

Well, listen up, because we have a project that is all about those very same things. This is your opportunity to really set your design skills loose, to get away from your desk and dive right into the creative process. We’re calling for expressions of interest for collaborators to create installations with our exhibitors that will form part of what makes Saturday Indesign an unmissable design event. Bring your own bag full of ideas or bring your work pals along for the ride. 

Let us introduce you to Saturday Indesign – a one-day design showcase full of walking trails, workshops and everything in-between. Saturday Indesign is all about fostering relationships between designers and suppliers. Within each carefully-selected showroom will be a collaboratively-designed activation (this is where you come in). These immersive, experiential installations have the power to make moments of wonder and surprise. Taking over Melbourne on 22 June, it’s all about engaging, mingling and learning at Saturday Indesign.

Ready to collaborate?

Step 1: Register your interest in being a design collaborator, just drop us a line at info@saturdayindesign.com.

Step 2: We pair you up with a design exhibitor.

Step 3: You work together on designing an installation for the exhibitor’s showroom as part of Saturday Indesign.

Step 4: Thousands of people stream through and interact with your amazing creation and your kudos and cred kick up a few notches.

If that’s all you need to know to sign yourself up… go ahead and register now. If you need more convincing, take a look at some of these unforgettable projects from past Saturday Indesign events.

A confetti-strewn room to splash around in? In 2012, Signature Floorconcepts collaborated with HBO + EMTB and as you can imagine, it was a huge hit.

Temperature Design and Clare Cousins Architects called for visitors to actively engage with their installation – where people wrote on the ribbons and tied them around the space.

BVN created a magical space to relax at Saturday Indesign 2013 in a collaboration with Seeho Su.

What are you waiting for? Don’t just be a consumer, be a creator and catch you at Saturday Indesign 22 June.
