International Advisory Committee & Jury

International Advisory Committee & Jury

The London Design Biennale International Advisory Committee and Jury is composed of leading creative experts, with a strong commitment to and appreciation of design. They are responsible for awarding medals to the most significant contributions.

The medals are designed by Shimell and Madden, a London-based jewellery and metalwork studio whose work is strongly influenced by the universal and symbolic language of geometry. 

For 2025, the medals have been produced by Fox Silver Ltd.
