Prague International Design Festival

High Craft

Designblok, in collaboration with Vogue CS magazine, brings a unique selection of domestic designers and manufacturers that artfully combine traditional craftsmanship, innovative and environmentally friendly production processes with the highest aesthetic standards. The curated selection by Designblok Director Jana Zielinski and Vogue CS Editor-in-Chief Danica Kovářová will offer the crème de la crème of Czech design in the captivating Renaissance backdrop of the Queen Anne's Summer Palace in the Royal Garden at Prague Castle.

Between unity and diversity

Women and muses in architecture, in design, in art.

The exhibition presents the breadth of relationships, connections and differences that are reflected in Czech design, architecture and applied art created by women. It reflects courage - energy manifested in many forms and through the will to create meaningfully and satisfyingly. And also as one of the ingredients needed for a woman to be able to apply to be part of fields that are still largely a male domain. The exhibition therefore brings into play not only the works, but also their female creators and their stories. The project takes into account the fluidity of the boundaries between the fields of design and freelancing and their mutual interaction. It is a meeting of three generations of artists, but also of disciplines, techniques and themes. It brings together women - creators, contemporaries, inspirers, tutors, students, friends. The joint exhibition also provides an opportunity to observe whether and how the female gender is reflected in their works.

Designblok for Kids

The first contact with quality aesthetics and local production starts in the pram. The children's pavilion will offer a play element by Maxim Velčovský, interactive installations and signs that will appeal to the youngest design fans and their parents and grandparents. There will also be a café and a space to relax.
