The Prague International Festival Designblok is the largest design and fashion exhibition in Central and Eastern Europe. It showcases the latest products from over two hundred independent creators, studios, and established brands. The main exhibition is accompanied by a rich programme of lectures, panel discussions, industry meetups, fashion shows, and other events. Dozens of galleries, showrooms, pop-up shops, and retailers traditionally take part in Designblok, offering their own thematically curated programmes and special events throughout the festival. The theme of the 27th edition is "Courage". The six-day festival starts off with a day dedicated to the experts (Professionals’ Day) and continues with a five-day exhibition for the public which presents new projects from over two hundred carefully selected makers, studios and established brands. The festival’s curated exhibitions react to current social topics, draw attention to the work of both up-and-coming and long-established designers, and offer a creative and professional business platform which provides opportunity for the meeting of designers and companies with the expert public, suppliers and customers. Expositions are divided into two concepts. Superstudio is a space for exhibitions of companies, manufacturers and shops. All areas of design are presented here, especially furniture, lighting, and home accessories. Openstudio is a space for expositions of designers, design studios, students, and schools. Laboratory of contemporary design, where product designers, fashion designers, jewelry designers, graphic designers, and illustrators present themselves. More
