London Design Biennale is an internationally acclaimed multi-exhibitor exhibition at the Grade 1 listed Somerset House. Designers from all over the world each create bespoke installations along a shared theme.
The 2018 theme was Emotional States set by Artistic Director Christopher Turner. A diverse, global commentary on our emotionally turbulent times. 40 countries, cities and territories presented installations that were curated by some of the most distinguished museums and design institutions in the world including the V&A, Triennale Museum and the Cooper Hewitt.
These exhibits interrogated the ways in which design affects every aspect of our lives, and influences our very being, emotions and experiences. Together, they presented an exciting culmination of ideas that investigated the important relationship between design, strong emotional responses, and real social needs.
