About
The Biennale Interieur, known for its uncompromising international selection of contemporary design, has been a strong force in the field of design events since it took place for the first time in 1968.
Unlike other trade fair organisers, INTERIEUR adopted the status of a non-profit organisation from the start and created an innovative model to represent design as a cultural as well as a commercial entity.
INTERIEUR brings together brands and talent, and is looking for meaningful answers in the field of design and interiors, life, work and leisure environments. Focus is on quality, in a fresh mix of international brands with special attention to young talent.
Due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 virus, its impact on the international design world and the fair and events sector, and the challenging organisation of major events, the Biennale Interieur has decided to postpone its 2020 edition until the autumn of 2021. The Biennale INTERIEUR 2021 will take place in Kortrijk Xpo from 21 to 25 October 2021.
In any case, 2020 will remain a unique year for the Biennale Interieur. This year marks the 15th time we will honour and select a Belgian designer of the year. This prize will be awarded in the autumn, in collaboration with Knack Weekend and Le Vif Weekend.
The Biennale Interieur took its first steps towards a new model a few years ago, a renewal which will continue. The development of a city festival and the targeted development of an intense and more professional programme met the demands of the market. This process of change is now being further elaborated. "We know the market through and through, and our team stays informed and up to date on a daily basis, staying in contact with international furniture manufacturers, leading designers and thought leaders. We cannot ignore the signals that reach us, and will deal with the situation in a flexible, open way," concludes Jo Libeer. "We remain hopeful for the future and will use this extra year to work on a strong, content-driven Biennial for 2021.
By postponing the 5-day event to 2021, the Biennale Interieur changes timing, and changes from even years to odd years.
