Designblok 13, Prague

Don't forget to attend Designblok this week! Running from October 7th - 13th, Designblok is more than just the Czech equivalent of the various fashion weeks established in major fashion capitals around the globe. It is also an international exhibition of contemporary furniture design, industrial design, lighting, product and jewelry design. Designblok has been running since 1999 and with its rather long tradition, it has managed to attract some of the most renowned local and international designers this year. 

This year Designblok is held in three major locations in Prague. The interior, lighting and product design exhibition, which forms the major part of Designblok is held at Nákladové nádraží Žižkov in Prague 3. Fashion and jewelry design can be found in the Kafka house in Staroměstské náměstí, Prague 1. An exhibition exploring the fine line between design and art and showcasing the works of major international designers is being held in the Colloredo-Mansfeld palace in Karlova street, Prague 1.

A ticket will cost you 250 Czk and will get you into all three of the locations of the Designblok during the entire week. Tickets can be purchased at any of the three listed locations. If you're interested in attending the fashion shows, make sure to review the program here and book your tickets for the particular shows you're interested in early.
