The Sixth Annual Design Winter Market was a hybrid online and in-person event as part of emerging tradition within the Department of Design at Ohio State. All guests had an opportunity to view and purchase limited-edition – and in several cases unique – products designed and produced by design students.
Winter Market Products were on sale for a limited time on December 6, 2023, and only on-location (from 10 AM-12 PM in front of Hayes Hall on Ohio State's campus). Proceeds from the 2023 Winter Market benefit the student-led Ohio State chapters of Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA) and Columbus Society of Communicating Arts (CSCA).

The Sixth Annual Design Winter Market features:
Home Goods Shoppe – Each of the eight “home goods” products, designed by third-year industrial design students as part of an Autumn 2023 studio course, strike a balance between addressing the needs of users, demands of small-run production, constraints of a limited budget, and approaches to sustainability.
Greeting Card Station – featuring more than two dozen hand-crafted, seasonal stationery products, designed and produced by students in the design foundations program
SADR Digital Fabzone – featuring holiday ornaments crafted by SADR Staffer Joshua Gagliardi
Design Ventures Showcase – featuring product offerings from small businesses owned by current design students
Special Guests: Student League of Independent Ceramicists – popping up for one more sale before the holidays! Offering a smattering of mugs, cups, candles, vases, jewelry, planters, trinkets, and so much more!
