The Brumen Foundation is a non-profit organization established in 2003 with a mission to promote quality design and raise awareness about the pervasive nature of design in our lives. They believe that design plays a crucial role in improving our overall quality of life and aim to inform a wider audience about its significance. The foundation organizes the Brumen Biennial of Slovenian Design, which serves as the central event in the design field in Slovenia.

They also present the prestigious Brumen Awards, the highest national professional recognitions in design, to outstanding Slovenian designers, quality visual communication, and clients that prioritize and acknowledge the value of design as a competitive advantage. By recognizing and promoting excellence in design, the Brumen Foundation aims to foster critical reflection on visual communication. Additionally, the foundation organizes exhibitions, publishes catalogs and monographs, and facilitates discussions and lectures to further engage with the design community and the public.

Through these activities, the Brumen Foundation aims to counter the deprofessionalization and devaluation of design that has occurred in recent years and reestablish its significance
