Seeking to encourage dialogue between international contemporary design and the historical setting of Venice, founders Francesca Giubilei and Luca Berta created Venice Design Biennal in 2016, the first design festival in our city.

​

Since then, every two years we bring a main group exhibition focused on a specific curatorial theme and a series of collateral projects scattered around the city. The exhibitions embrace all types of design, from furniture to objects, fashion to architectural and landscape installations, and include collaborations with independent designers, studios, museums and academic institutions.

​Our Biennial is conceived as a walk through the city: visitors receive a map and each stop is an opportunity to explore design in a unique place.

 

​

The 5th edition of the Venice Design Biennial will take place from September 5 to November 2, 2025.

Applications are now open. Read more at the official website!
