The Biennale announces the first 20 pavilions to feature in its fifth edition - 50% off early bird offer ends 27 March.
London Design Biennale announces the first confirmed pavilions for its 2025 edition, taking place at Somerset House, in the heart of London, from 5-29 June. The theme of this edition of the Biennale, ‘Surface Reflections’, as set by Artistic Director Dr Samuel Ross MBE, explores how ideas are fuelled by both our internal experiences and external influences.
The fifth edition continues the Biennale’s mission to demonstrate how design can better the world we inhabit whilst broadening our understanding of design’s role in addressing challenges and identifying solutions.
Exhibitors will share perspectives and solutions to some of the global issues that face humanity today, exploring areas from the urban environment to preservation of cultural heritage, environmental sustainability to post-conflict recovery.
“Since the last Biennale the global context has drastically changed and the need for collaboration and exchange in a peaceful context feels more important than ever. International design teams continue to demonstrate the possibilities of and their faith in, what can be achieved through design and design thinking. The Biennale reveals what is on people’s minds, across the world, right now. We will see exhibitors presenting design in all its forms.” - Victoria Broackes, Director
