ARTISTS
Shape & Shapers
A versatile and playful exhibition which invites art and design lovers to explore the amazing imagination, technical mastery, knowledge of materials, and sense of humour, all coming from a small country in Central Europe.
The exhibition is divided into three main sections. The Story of Czech Design introduces the development of design in the Czech Republic between 1918-2018 and features some of the most iconic objects created in the past century. From 尝颈产耻拧别 Niklov谩麓s inflatable toys, through cubist ceramics and furniture, legendary chairs created by Jind艡ich Halabala, to city bikes and pocket knives in the shape of a fish, all the objects are timeless in their quality.
The second section, Czech Design Brands, focuses on lighting products and glassware, but also adds examples of bentwood furniture by the legendary Czech brand TON. Spectacular mouth-blown glass chandeliers provided by Lasvit and Bomma will hang from the ceilings, hand-cut crystal by R眉ckl will glow in the shades of grey, pink and bronze, and exquisite decorative glassware commissioned by Moser will continue to enchant with its unparallel colour scale and designs ranging from art nouveau to contemporary geometric shapes.
Art Design, the final section, is a free dive into creativity and diversity of material and form. More than twenty designers, including the youngest generation, present their work: vases made of snow (Maxim Vel膷ovsk媒) or fluorescent uranium glass (Rony Plesl), cheeky mirrors (Jakub Berdych Karpelis), tapestries made of recycled wool (Tereza Rosalie Klado拧ov谩), objects for a trip to Mars (studio K.O.V.), earrings inspired by comets (Nastassia Aleinikava), bulbs with wings (Emel Erdem), or illustrated table-ware (Michal Ba膷谩k).
