27th Designblok
Prague International Design Festival
8. – 12. 10. 2025
Patricia Urquiola, one of the most prominent figures in contemporary design and architecture, comes to Prague to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award and to present her latest collection, Insula, created for Kettal. The modular seating system, which reinterprets the concept of traditional Arab salons, offers versatile solutions for social gatherings and relaxation. A low sofa with a roll-backrest allows for multiple configurations and opens new possibilities for spatial arrangements. The installation will be presented by Konsepti in the Superstudio at Křižík Pavilion C.
Erwan Bouroullec, a leading French designer and long-standing innovator in the field of furniture design, will introduce his latest work Mynt, created for Vitra, at this year’s Designblok. The organically shaped chair reflects his sensitivity to detail, technological precision, and ability to transform an everyday object into a timeless artefact. Additional pieces from his own work will also be on display in the exhibition at Křižík Pavilion B. Erwan Bouroullec will further engage with the public as a keynote speaker at the Designblok Talks conference, held on Tuesday, 7 October, at the Nová Spirála space.
