QUEEN ANNE'S SUMMER PALACE
For three years in a row, Designblok has been working in collaboration with Prague Castle Administration to open up the exceptional buildings and spaces of one of the largest castle complexes in the world to the public. After a hiatus of more than twenty years, the festival is returning to the spaces of Queen Anne’s Summer Palace in the Royal Gardens of Prague Castle.
This Renaissance-era architectural jewel from the late 16th century will host the works of Czech designers and producers as part of the carefully-curated High Craft exhibition. In collaboration with Vogue CS and under the curatorial oversight of festival director Jana Zielinski and Vogue CS editor-in-chief Danica Kovářová, Designblok will present twenty select Czech producers and brands who are taking traditional Czech craft to new places. With the help of innovative technologies and while keeping the highest ecological and aesthetic standards, these names are pioneering the future state of the art.
