About the California Design Biennial

The original California Design Biennial was organized to showcase excellence and innovation in the field of design and to raise awareness of California’s role as an international design center. The exhibition is structured to bring attention to new directions in design and explore ways that design impacts and inspires everyday life. This is the third California Design Biennial and builds upon the success of the 2003 and 2005 exhibitions which attracted a large audience of both designers and the general public and garnered much national press, including the Los Angeles Times and New York Times.
