Saturday Indesign: Collingwood, what’s good?

Saturday Indesign

Collingwood is one of three precincts at Saturday Indesign 2025 on 6th September – find out what’s on there!


Collingwood hosts a full program for Saturday Indesign 2025, with events spanning from early-morning hospitality to evening celebrations. Across the day, visitors can explore product launches, talks, installations and relaxed social gatherings, each reflecting the character of the precinct’s five exhibitors: K5 Furniture, CULT, Innerspace, ownworld, and Something Beginning With (SBW).

The morning begins at SBW with coffee and pastries from Bread Club, before CULT welcomes guests to the launch of Gubi’s F300 Chair in an exclusive session led by CEO Marie Kristine Schmidt. K5 Furniture also sets the tone with a discussion on light, learning and the role of design in shaping the future.

Mid-morning conversations continue with Innerspace, where a panel led by Alice Blackwood examines how outdoor furniture fosters community, while SBW explores how the design community defines “emerging” talent. Lunch in the precinct carries a convivial atmosphere, with paella and cocktails hosted by SBW.

The afternoon program offers further highlights: CULT reprises its F300 launch for a second session, while Innerspace invites guests to Sundown Sessions, combining design with music and drinks. At the same time, K5 Furniture reconvenes with a panel reflecting on light, craft and the soul of interior environments. Nearby, ownworld hosts an Aperitivo, offering Negronis and a relaxed close to the day’s discussions.

As evening approaches, CULT extends celebrations with Gubi After Hours, where design conversation continues into the night. Throughout the precinct, visitors can also encounter ongoing activations: Innerspace’s Sit. Touch. Connect.installation, K5 Furniture’s Quiet Radical showcase, SBW’s New Forms Unfold launch and artist Daniel O’Toole’s reimagining of the Klara Chair, as well as ownworld’s immersive Silent Beams installation.

Taken together, the Collingwood program balances hospitality, learning and new product releases, with each exhibitor contributing a distinct perspective. From the quiet radicalism of crafted pieces to the bold unveiling of global launches, the precinct offers a full day of design encounters shaped by K5 Furniture, CULT, Innerspace, ownworld and SBW.
