Two weeks after our first market of 2024 in Sydney, we’re ready to share an incredible album of stallholder snaps with you all – plus a shout-out to all the amazing humans who helped make the Sydney Design Market a success! We had the best time discovering debuts, greeting our regulars, and surrounding ourselves with creativity. Thank you to everyone who came along to support small and local ❤️

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.
