Designblok 2025

Designblok 2025 will take place 8–12 October 2025. The main theme of the 27th Designblok, Prague International Festival is COURAGE!

Designblok once again invites visitors to exceptional places around Prague. This year, it is returning to Výstaviště Praha in Holešovice district, where you can find the festival’s central area. The generous interiors of the Křižík pavilions and the multifunctional space of The New Spiral theater and its immediate surroundings will offer the hottest items of Czech and international design made by hundreds of European designers and producers. It will also feature the Designblok Talks – a fresh new networking and conferencing platform for discussing interesting topics with stellar guests, produced in collaboration with Dezeen magazine. You can also look forward to interactive installations for even the youngest design fans, the educational Designblok Stage, and a chill-out zone and food court.

The High Craft exhibition will be on view in the Royal Summer Palace at Prague Castle and will again present a curated selection of designers and companies who are pushing Czech craft beyond its limits. The Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague will traditionally present this year’s special exhibitions and installations – get ready for Between Unity and Diversity, an exhibition which will present the works of twenty women working in the field of design, architecture, and applied arts. It is also the space where Czech jeweler and artist Zdeněk Vacek will present his first solo exhibition, and leading designer Jiří Pelcl will celebrate his 75th birthday with his own grand show. The new Loggia exhibition space in Galerie Rudolfinum will welcome Designblok’s guest of honor – photographer, documentarist, and activist Mary McCartney – while School Today will showcase bold young design visions by students of central European high schools. The Diploma Selection competition will present the best of final graduate works, and Designblok Talent Cards will cast the limelight on some of the hottest up-and-comers working in design today. Plus, you can also look forward to lectures, discussions, fashion shows, and networking, while the youngest visitors can have fun at the Designblok for Kids children’s pavilion.

Every year, the Superstudio presents companies, producers, and shops, showing off the newest items by Czech and international producers made in collaboration with designers. The willingness to develop quality products with added value is the basic condition for selecting exhibitors from various design spheres – mostly furniture, lighting, and interior accessories.

The Openstudio is an opportunity for designers, design studios, and schools. This laboratory of contemporary design presents product designers, fashion designers, jewelry designers, and illustrators, offering a juicy showcase of innovative solutions, creative ideas, prototypes, and small-series production.
