The process of rebuilding Saturday Indesign for 2026 has been deliberate, spanning more than a year of consultation with brands, designers and industry experts who have shared their insights based on a deep knowledge and history in the industry.

This week, at an exclusive gathering at the Woollahra Hotel in Sydney, New South Wales, the official Saturday Indesign 2026 partners were announced. The event brings together, for the first time, the full cohort of brands and practices involved in the consultation — a group spanning product manufacturers, interior suppliers and architectural studios from across Australia.

The repositioning is substantive rather than cosmetic. Rather than a conventional exhibition format, the 2026 edition will move toward more participatory programming: more hands-on experiences, greater visibility for younger designers and emerging voices, and structured opportunities for robust debate and professional exchange. Further programming details are expected over winter.

The consultation process has been broad, drawing on private roundtable gatherings, wider group sessions with key stakeholders, the launch of Indesign Social Club, and an Editorial Dinner Series. More than 50 brands and 30 architectural and design practices have been part of that process.
