Prague International Design Festival

Prague’s Designblok International Design Festival is organized in the creative heart of Europe and is the largest design and fashion expo in Central and Eastern Europe.

The festival reacts to topical social issues and international trends and provides a creative, professional, and business platform where designers and companies can meet with experts, suppliers, and target customers. An exhibition of the latest innovations is complemented by a rich accompanying program of lectures and discussions, industry sessions, fashion shows, and other special events offering space for networking and mutual inspiration.

Every year Designblok hosts 40,000 visitors from the ranks of designers, curators, buyers, architects, interior designers, journalists, and lovers of design.

The 25th Annual Designblok will take place from 04 to 08 October 2023 in three exceptional exhibition venues throughout Prague: National Gallery Prague’s Trade Fair Palace, the gardens of Prague Castle, and the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague. Dozens of shops, studios, and showrooms throughout Prague are also traditionally involved in the festival. The theme of this jubilee year is the Journey.

Expositions at Designblok are divided into Superstudio and Openstudio.

Superstudio is a space for exhibitions of companies, manufacturers and shops. Superstudio presents novelties of Czech and international manufacturers, presenting products created in cooperation with top designers. All areas of design are presented here, especially furniture, lighting, and home accessories.

Laboratory of contemporary design, where product designers, fashion designers, jewelry designers, graphic designers, and illustrators present themselves. Primarily exhibitions of prototypes and small batch production without the participation of a commercial manufacturer.
