Jiří Pelcl: Design je pro mě náboženstvím / Design Is My Religion
Once an angry young man and co-founder of the Atika group which defined Czech postmodernism, Jiří Pelcl has over the years become a leading force in product design – industrial, large-scale, small-scale, studio-level, you name it. And he is celebrating his 75th birthday with an exhibition presenting his views on what pertinently used to be called “applied art.” We are symbolically celebrating this anniversary with 7.5 principles: one commentary which impacted Pelcl’s work for each decade, inspiring the selected designs, including this year’s novelties. Curated by Danica Kovářová.
The exhibition will remain at the Museum of Applied Arts even after Designblok ends, until 2 November 2025, and will be accessible with a valid festival pass or a purchased museum ticket.
