About exhibition

The main exhibition of the 25th Designblok, with the subtitle Intergalactic Beauty of Czech Design, is a look into the inner universe of ten top Czech designers presented via their unique works conceived as their personal manifesto. The connecting link is glass, a material so traditional for our country, and the spectacular installation in the form of an endless cosmic pilgrimage for which the works were created. The exhibition is a celebration of 25 years of the Prague International Festival Designblok and the journey that Czech design and Czech society have taken together over the last quarter of a century.
