"City of no nonsense" Rotterdam to host inaugural design biennale

The first Design Biennale Rotterdam will take place across the Dutch city from 20 February to 2 March 2025 to address the "clear gap" in local events dedicated solely to design.

Featuring exhibitions, installations, talks and workshops with an emphasis on experimental and speculative design, the 10-day Design Biennale Rotterdam will be themed What's Real Is Unfamiliar.

Via an open call, designers and curators are invited to submit multidisciplinary projects that "challenge conventional thinking and explore new possibilities"...
