The countdown is on as Design Show Australia prepares to open its doors for a three-day design extravaganza being held at Sydney’s International Convention Centre October 20-22, 2022.
Exciting exhibitions and activations, engaging speaking events and an abundance of networking opportunities await – it’s the place to be for interior designers and architects, premium brands, buyers and specifiers at the forefront of curated and authentic design.

The on-site ArchiPro activation will invite industry professionals to experience the latest products, learn about industry trends, and connect with premium suppliers in the commercial, workplace, hospitality, multi-res and residential interior spaces.
Speaking events will be held across the three days, with experts discussing topics ranging from layering light in the kitchen and the rise of experiential design to mental health and wellbeing in design. The founders of YSG, Flack Studio and Frost*collective will discuss how to build creative friendships; while Alexander &CO, Woods Bagot and other industry leaders will share ideas on how design professionals can attract and retain talent in their practices. Other standout speaking events will tackle issues around supply chain disruption, multi-generational living and the latest sustainability initiatives.
The first two days of the Design Show are reserved for trade, while the third is for homeowners and other end-users looking to learn more about design and discover standout products, suppliers and professionals to help bring their projects to life.
The speaking agenda for Day 3 is action packed. Talented architects and designers will share how homeowners can update their home from one era to another, navigate increased building costs, define their interior identity, and even how to survive a kitchen or bathroom reno! The duo behind interior design studio Arent & Pyke will also launch their brand new book, Interiors Beyond the Primary Palette, during the show.
Visually enticing activations and exhibition spaces abound, with a range of exciting products on display from tapware and lighting to flooring, furniture and fans. Visitors are invited to interact and engage with exhibitors as they make their way around the space.
The ‘Whose Bright Idea?’ collaborative installation by ARUP, Woods Bagot, Euroluce, Europanel and Buildcorp will be hard to miss. Taking visitors on a journey of sight, sound and touch, the installation was designed as a way to encourage people to consider the lifespan of products and materials beyond a project’s immediate timeline.
The curated Lincoln Gin Lounge area at Design Show will be another standout, serving as the launch pad for a new modular sofa system designed by Adam Goodrum for Cult’s Australian design brand, nau.
