We had the coolest weekend in Sydney (despite the heat), celebrating our small business community at the Sydney Design Market! We couldn’t think of a better way to wrap up 2023 and thank everyone who made the trip to join us at the Hordern Pavilion.

Discover the full album of photos taken by our photographer, Samee Lapham, on our Facebook page here. Don’t forget to tag your stall and your mates if you were snapped! Stallholders looking to license these images for commercial use, please get in touch with Samee here.

We’ve got a huge list of people to thank, so without further ado, we’re saying a big thank you to:
