The first London Design Biennale opened in September 2016 at Somerset House with 37 countries and territories participating (7 – 27 September). Nations from six continents presented newly commissioned works that explored the theme Utopia by Design.
Visitors to the London Design Biennale saw installations curated by the leading museums and design organisations in the world, including Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum (USA), DAMnº Magazine (Belgium), German Design Council, the MAK and Austria Design Net, Moscow Design Museum (Russia), Triennale Design Museum (Italy), India Design Forum, Southern Guild (South Africa), the Japan Foundation, and Victoria and Albert Museum (UK). Design teams included architects, designers, scientists, writers and artists.
Taking over the entirety of Somerset House, including The Edmond J. Safra Fountain Court and River Terrace, the London Design Biennale explored big questions and ideas about sustainability, migration, pollution, energy, cities, and social equality. Visitors saw engaging and interactive installations, innovations, artworks and proposed design solutions - all in an immersive, inspiring and entertaining tour of the world. www.londondesignbiennale.com
