| Prague Fashion and Design Week Designblok and its exhibition space will primarily occupy old palaces in the centre of Prague. Manufacturers and showrooms of interior design will occupy the main Kafkův dům superstudio (Kafka House) in Kafka Square in the Old Town. Located at the foot of St. Nicolas church in the Old Town Square, Franz Kafka’s house is the first historic Designblok Superstudio dedicated exclusively to interior design. Built in 1902 on the location of the burnt-out house where Franz Kafka was born, the house will present new designs in the field of furniture design and living from top Czech manufacturers and renowned foreign brands on four different floors. Organized by the Italian-Czech Chamber of Commerce under the auspices of the Italian ambassador Pasquale d´Avino, Italian Design Week will constitute a significant part of Designblok this year. Italian presentations of interior companies will occupy the entire second floor of Kafkův dům. Just 200 meters from there, the Clam-Gallas Palace superstudio on Husova street will focus on the theme of luxury, which Designblok curators Jana Zielinski and Jiří Macek decided to explore in this year’s key exhibition – Luxus (Luxury) – located in the Clam-Gallas Palace. Visitors will have an opportunity to enjoy luxury in the form of peace and silence, to stop and relish these scarce moments in the contemporary world. They will find here primarily conceptual exhibitions by ca 20 manufacturers and brands, e.g. Nendo for Lasvit, lights designed by Lucie Koldová and Dan Yeffet for Brokis, and a special collection of coats designed by Liběna Rochová and Denisa Nová for the Simple Concept Store. | ||
