After three years, DesignBlok returns to the Trade Fair Palace of the National Gallery Prague, which will become the festival’s main hub. Across several floors, visitors will discover hundreds of exhibitions by designers, brands, schools and emerging talents, alongside major curated projects, talks, workshops and accompanying programmes for both children and adults.
The Small Hall will host Veranda, an interactive installation by Maxim Velčovský exploring light, movement and shared encounters. The fifth floor will be dedicated to DesignBlok Selects, a curated selection of standout objects and new releases from Czech and international design. The next generation will be represented through the exhibition of Diploma Selection finalists, the DesignBlok Talent Cards programme and a dedicated School Today section featuring presentations by Czech and international schools and studios.
Throughout the festival, the Grand Hall will host the DesignBlok Stage with talks, interviews and discussions. The ATLAS space will offer workshops, film screenings and other activities for design fans of all ages. The programme will also include interactive partner installations, café and relaxation zones, as well as outdoor exhibitions and a food zone on the piazzetta in front of the palace.
This year, the festival pass will also provide access to the entire Trade Fair Palace, including the current exhibitions of the National Gallery Prague.
