The story

Czech Design Week in Prague

Czech Design Week's concept dates to 2014, with its first edition in 2015 at the House at the Minute, followed by moves through the Prague Congress Centre, Styblu Palace and, more recently, the Manes Exhibition Hall, with accompanying shows at Clam-Gallas Palace. Unlike larger established-brand design festivals, it focuses specifically on students and emerging designers, positioning itself as a discovery platform within Prague's autumn design calendar.

Czech Design Week's concept dates to 2014, with its first physical edition following in 2015 at the House at the Minute, a historic Prague building whose facade carries Renaissance sgraffito decoration, a fitting setting for a festival built around showcasing new design against the backdrop of the city's older architectural heritage.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Few design festivals build their entire identity around emerging and student talent the way Czech Design Week does, deliberately connecting professional and general audiences with graduates and design students rather than centring established brands, a curatorial focus that has stayed consistent even as the festival's physical venue has changed repeatedly across its first decade

02

The mystery stays covered

That venue history itself, from the historic House at the Minute through the Prague Congress Centre, Styblu Palace and more recently the Manes Exhibition Hall, traces a genuine search for institutional footing rare to see documented so clearly for a still-young festival

03

The city starts moving

Running in the same autumn season as the larger, more established Designblok gives Prague two distinct design events with genuinely different curatorial missions rather than overlapping, competing showcases
