London Design Biennale invites countries, territories and cities togther for a global gathering of design kicking off on 1st June 2021.

Watch the world’s most ambitious and imaginative designers and curators respond to our Artistic Director Es Devlin’s theme of Resonance with pavilions set across the historic location of Somerset House.

"We live in an age of hyper resonance, the consequences of which are both exhilarating and devastating. Everything we design and everything we produce resonates." 

Es Devlin, Artistic Director
