The idea of DNA emanates from the desire to put focus on Copenhagen as an epicenter of classic and timeless Nordic design. On request from several players in the furniture industry the team behind DNA decided that Copenhagen is ready to rise as an international player on the furniture world map. Many strong furniture and light brands have their base in Copenhagen but only by joined force can we exploit the city’s full potential. The focus of the fair is to catch the essence of the Nordic high quality design and its creative DNA to show that Nordic design is contemporary, modern and innovative and evolves continuously while standing on shoulders of giants of the past. This is why the fair is simply named: DNA. Our inspiration for DNA does not solely come from the industry. We always tap into various insights in society and business to create an attractive environment for you- whether you are a retailer, an architect, an interior designer, a journalist or just passionate about design. | ||

First staged in 2003, the London Design Festival is one of the world's most important annual design events. The Festival programme is made up of over 300 events and exhibitions staged by hundreds of partner organisations across the design spectrum and from around the world. A centerpiece of the Festival is our commissions, the Landmark Projects, created with the help of our generous supporters. For the Landmark Projects we commission some of the world's greatest architects and designers to create pieces of work in some of London's best-loved public spaces. And then there are the Partner events; if anything is evidence of this city's vitality, it's the sheer scope and quality of the Festival events programmed by our Partners. From established businesses to emerging practies, from entrepreneurs to educators, from manufacturers to retailers, our Partners represent the heart of London's design culture. The Festival is both a cultural and a commercial event. The programme ranges from major international exhibitions to trade events, installations to talks and seminars, from product launches to receptions, private views and parties. The majority of events are free of charge - enabling visitors to participate, listen, learn, commission and make purchases. |

100% Design is the largest and most prestigious single-site design event in the UK. As one of the world’s most important design trade events, 100% Design is the commercial cornerstone of the annual London Design Festival. Media 10, the leading independent publishing and events company, took ownership of 100% Design in January 2012. For the new phase of 100% Design has been completely revised; it’ll be defined by four new shows - each with its own dedicated section of the floor plan: 100%Interiors, 100%Office, 100%Kitchen & Bathrooms and 100%Eco Design & Build. | ||

The Biennial of Design (known also by its Slovene acronym BIO) is one of the few major international design exhibitions that has a tradition of more than forty-eight years of presenting contemporary trends in international design. From the first biennial in 1964 to today, BIO has presented twenty-two exhibitions surveying the state of international design. The main exhibition of 23rd Biennial of Design has been conceived by the renowned curators Margo Konings and Margriet Vollenberg (Organisation in Design). The selection of works from 27 countries shows how modern technologies, digitalisation and globalisation, as well as nature and its resources influence designers and their creative work. However the exhibition does not only expose the new and up-to-date ideas of contemporary design production, but also opens up a daring and critical cross section of everything that contemporary design reflects and describes in this very moment. The BIO 23 exhibition display was designed by the well-known Dutch designer Joost van Bleiswijk. | ||

Beijing Design Week 2012 will feature seven sections: Opening Ceremony, Annual Design Awards, Guest City, Beijing Design Fair, GeoCity Smart City-International Information Design Exhibition, The New York Times Beijing Design Forum 2012, and Design Hop. "China has amazed the world with its ability to build roads and bridges, and factories and supply chains—the hardware and infrastructure that have fueled the spectacular rise of our manufacturing economy. But as we set our sights on design and innovation, we need to shift focus: from hardware and infrastructure to software and people, from quantity to quality, from appearances to substance, from simply constructing shiny new buildings to caring more about what happens inside them. We also need to give greater respect to content, and better reward the people who create it." Aric Chen, Creative Director | ||

After four successful festivals, the 2012 programme of event will show design shaping material culture, our everyday life and our consumer world, influence our lifestyles and fashions and most fundamentally our aesthetic sense and judgements. This wide-ranging impact is a reason both to celebrate design and to examine it critically. With exhibitions, venue-specific installations, theme specials, discussion events, a programme of films and, of course, enough opportunity to party and network, the festival aims to reveal creative and production processes and encourage experimental work on the spot. | ||
