Ten years ago we set up So Watt with the hope of creating furniture that was playful, thoughtful, and proudly made right here in Marrickville (Sydney). A decade later, we’re pinching ourselves. It’s been ten years of making, designing, and collaborating with a community that cares about where things come from and how they’re made.
If you’re curious about where it all began and the values that continue to drive us, Concrete Playground recently sat down with us to share our story. It’s a great glimpse into what makes So Watt tick and why this milestone means so much.
We’re opening the doors wide to our showroom and workshop for a big 10-year birthday party and open day. On Saturday October 11th, we’ll be welcoming friends old and new to see behind the scenes, meet the team, and share in what we’ve built together.
There will be incredible food curated by FoodLab Sydney, a community food incubator that supports diverse local food entrepreneurs to launch and grow their businesses. FoodLab’s mission is to create opportunities for people to share their culture and flavours through food, while building a more inclusive and sustainable local food system. We’re thrilled to have them join us and can’t wait for you to taste what they’re all about.
Drinks will flow thanks to our friends at Thirstville who are curating an All-Austrailian bar menu, and a limited number of special 10-year collaboration brews with local legends Kicks Brewing will be on offer to the early birds. Supporting local makers and doers has always been at the heart of So Watt, so it feels only right to mark this milestone with some of our favourite neighbours.
Of course, no birthday is complete without a little extra fun. There’ll be prizes, raffles, a merch stand, and tunes by funk and soul legend DJ Juzzlikedat spinning on vinyl all afternoon, thanks to glorious handmade speakers from Translate Sound. It’s our way of saying thank you for ten incredible years and inviting you to be part of the next chapter.
So come raise a glass, share a bite, throw some moves and celebrate ten years of So Watt with us. We can’t wait to see you there!

Big love from the So Watt Team
