The Prague International Designblok Festival is the largest design and fashion show in Central and Eastern Europe. Every year, it presents the work of more than two hundred independent authors, design studios and established brands and shows the most interesting of contemporary product, interior and fashion design. The exhibitions are accompanied by an extensive program of lectures, discussions, expert meetings and fashion shows. Dozens of galleries, showrooms, pop-ups and shops across Prague traditionally participate in the festival events, preparing their own thematic events and installations for visitors. The theme of the 28th year of Designblok is “Light”, which will be reflected in the exhibitions, accompanying program and visual identity of the festival. This year’s main exhibition will offer a unique showcase of Central European lighting from the 1950s—1980s, prepared in cooperation with the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague. A monumental light installation by Maxim Velčovský will be created in the Trade Fair Palace, and new products from leading Czech designers and studios will also be presented there. The festival is also returning to the Prague Castle Riding Hall and will take visitors to the Chapel of the Holy Cross for the first time. The exhibitions at Designblok are divided into Superstudio and Openstudio. Superstudio is a space for exhibitions of companies, manufacturers and shops. All areas of design are presented here, but especially furniture, lighting and home accessories. Openstudio is a space for exhibitions of designers, design studios and schools. Product designers, fashion designers, jewelry designers, illustrators present themselves here. More
