Established in 2016 by Sir John Sorrell CBE and Ben Evans CBE, London Design Biennale promotes international collaboration and the global role of design with exhibitions and installations that "demonstrate the ambition to create universal solutions to problems which concern us all."

The 2018 Biennale welcomed the world’s most exciting and ambitious designers, innovators and cultural bodies to the capital, and the third edition of London Design Biennale will take place from 1-27 June 2021, curated by Artistic Director Es Devlin.

Taking over Somerset House, participants will respond to the theme, Resonance, which considers the ripple effect of ground-breaking design concepts on the way we live, and the choices we make. More information on the 2021 Pavilions can be found here.

 

"I am delighted that the London Design Biennale will once again bring prominent designers, curators, and design institutes from around the globe to our capital. It has been an incredibly difficult year for the industry, but this programme will bring us together as an international community to reflect and collaborate on the challenges that lie ahead. London is a global creative capital, which will play a key role in our economic recovery from the pandemic."  

Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London
