This year’s Designblok offers an elevator inspired by a bubblegum, a kit that can be used to create a new cable car to Petřín, or neon flowers representing unbridled youthful dreams. The contemporary design show started this Wednesday at several locations in Prague and will last until Sunday, October 6. The main theme is youth. Each exhibitor conceived it in their own way.
The designers present themselves in the Prague Castle Riding School, the Museum of Applied Arts, the Bastion Florenc development project or the nearby Prague Museum. Designblok represents the first opportunity to visit its newly renovated main building.
The historic building in Prague’s Florence, better known as the Museum of the Capital City of Prague, has been closed since the middle of 2020, when its complete reconstruction began. At the same time, since last year, the institution has been led by a new team led by Ive Mack, former director of the Natural History Museum belonging to the National Museum. He wants to give the institution a more modern face, and the cooperation with Designblok is to be the first swallow.
The course of the first day of the festival in the Museum of Prague is presented in a photo gallery.
