The Design Biennale Zürich 2025 is celebrating its anniversary! The fifth edition will present the 100th project – a milestone worth celebrating! Planned is a special anniversary publication featuring contributions from all past participants. It not only offers insights into design as a cultural discipline but also traces the journey of past projects and protagonists, reflecting on the commitment of recent years.

If we reach our first funding goal, we’ll move on to the second stage – and if that succeeds, there will be a big anniversary party! 🥳

That’s why we need your support

To bring the anniversary publication to life, content must be created, texts edited, projects researched, designers contacted, images selected, layouts designed, and printing finalized – all of this is only possible with your support!

The Talent Award Night and the anniversary party also rely on your help. These events, along with the publication itself, are highlights that can only become a reality thanks to you. And who knows – the journey might even continue to the book launch in November, another celebration for the Design Biennale Zürich!
