The Biennial of Industrial Design (BIO) is one of a few international biennial exhibitions dedicated to showcasing industrial product and graphic design work selected by professional design institutions. The Biennial has been held in Ljubljana since 1963, and has developed an excellent reputation. The main exhibition is organised by the BIO Secretariat, which operates under the aegis of the Architecture Museum of Ljubljana. Decisions on all essential elements of the exhibition, with the exception of the judging, are taken by the organising committee that consists of representatives of Ljubljana Urban Municipality, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia (GZS) and the Architecture Museum of Ljubljana.

The BIO is a member of the International Council of Societies of Industrial Design (ICSID), ICOGRADA and the Bureau of European Designers' Associations (BEDA), all of which nominate representatives to participate in BIO’s international juries and present special excellence awards at each Biennial.

On 7th October 2010 the 22st Biennial of Industrial Design opens at the Architecture Museum of Ljubljana, Fužine Castle with works exhibited in three groups: Products, Product graphics and Information design, and Concepts.

Background

The 21st Biennial of Industrial Design in 2008 has been modernised in many ways. The BIO awards were redesign, and the entire event received a new corporate identity, designed by the Gigodesign, one of the award-winners of the 20th Biennial. The BIO 21 international Selection Committee has for the first time in BIO history examined all entries equally, be it industrial design and visual communications items or design concepts. The online registration for BIO 21 was possible for the first time.

The 20th Biennial of October 2006 presented over 350 exhibits by designers from 17 countries (Slovene designers contributed 111 works), including Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Croatia, Italy, Japan, China, Germany, the Netherlands, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden. Exhibits were presented in three groups: regular industrial products, visual messages, and design projects. The venues of the Biennial varied (in the centre of the city, at the castle, etc). A fringe programme was also organised, including panels, exhibitions by foreign designers, presentations by publishing houses and meetings of designer organisations, held in different cities of Slovenia. An international jury made up of Francisco Carrera (Spain), Judit Varhelyi (Hungary), Leimei Julia Chiu (Japan), Jacques Lange (South Africa) and Carlo Branzaglia (Italy) awarded gold medals, honourable mentions and 'good project' awards. Awards were also conferred by Radio-Television Slovenia (RTV Slovenia) and the international designers' associations ICSID (International Council of Societies of Industrial Design), ICOGRADA (International Council of Graphic Design Association),the Bureau of European Designers' Associations (BEDA) and EIDD (Design For All Europe).

Awards

BIO 21 The International Jury bestows the following awards: BIO Gold Medals, BIO Quality Concept Awards, and BIO Honourable Mentions.

International cooperation

In 2008 BIO 21 has expanded international promotion and cooperation to incorporate some of the most important international design organisations. BIO 21 was therefore advertised in all countries of the European Union and also in USA, Australia, New Zealand, China, South Africa and Japan. During the exhibition BIO 21 hosted a presentation of DME Award (Design Management Europe Award), attended by the most notable experts on design and management in the world.
