Czech Design Week 2024

An annual showcase of contemporary design and artistic creation. We believe that design is an integral part of our lives and influences all areas of society. That’s why Czech Design Week is open to everyone – designers, creators, professionals, general audiences, and businesses alike.

The exhibition offers a creative perspective on the use of waste and sewer pipes in art and design. This innovative concept showcases objects created by transforming these materials, emphasizing the importance of sustainability and recycling. The exhibition’s goal is not only to provide an aesthetic experience but also to inspire visitors to think about the role of recycling and sustainability in the world of visual arts.

Bratislava Design Week 2024

Bratislava Design Week is a leading platform for presenting contemporary Slovak and international design. The festival provides a space for established and emerging designers, manufacturers, distributors, students, individuals, and collectives to showcase their work to the public.

The theme of this year’s edition is Relationships. Designers are invited to reflect on how their work influences people, environments, and interactions. Relationships in design can take many forms – from the connection between materials and technologies to the emotional bonds between users and objects.

What Do Relationships Mean to Me?

As a designer, relationships represent a key connection between my ideas, users, and the environment in which my designs exist. I perceive them as a dialogue between form and function, where each design element affects the experience and interaction of people with a product. Cultivating these relationships allows me to create works that not only have aesthetic appeal but also carry deeper meaning and a positive impact on the world.
