The Big Design Market

Australia’s favourite shopping extravaganza, The Big Design Market, returns to Sydney this spring at the iconic Carriageworks!

From 18–20 September 2026, this incredible space will be transformed into a vibrant celebration of independent design, with over 230 exceptional designers and tastemakers from across Australia - including fresh faces and returning favourites. Dive into a curated world of boutique homewares, handmade ceramics, limited-edition art prints, Australian-made fashion, unique jewellery, and designer stationery - all from the country’s most exciting creative brands.

While you shop, treat your taste buds to aromatic coffee, natural wine, and tantalising cocktails, as well as handcrafted pies, phở, bagels, baked goods, and artisan ice cream - all brought to you by local culinary legends. It’s a feast for all the senses.

Don’t miss our striking new art installation by guest artist Em Hatton, featuring her unapologetically bold and playful world of colour. Plus, legendary designer showbags, exciting prizes, and a colourful creative play space for kids.
