It is also thanks to the support of our partners that we organize the largest and most playful design festival in Central Europe.

Architects, designers, developers, manufacturers, business partners, curators, collectors, and journalists – the people who select new products, discover talents, and establish business collaborations. Alongside them, the festival annually welcomes tens of thousands of visitors interested in quality design, architecture, and the world around them.
1,800+ articles annually, 500+ accredited journalists, 1.5 million+ reached users, and 10 million+ reach across communication channels. DesignBlok is visible in online and print media, television, radio, and public spaces, annually transforming Prague into the largest showcase of contemporary design in Central Europe.
