A Touch of Praha was an exhibition of contemporary Czech design, representing Praha, the capital of the Czech Republic.
Czech design production has gone a long way towards development, from all important Czech creators we can name Josef Gočár (design and architecture in Cubistic style), Ladislav Sutnar (an important Czech designer of the 20th century), Zdeněk Kovář (an industrial designer whose footprints are followed by many other creators).
Czech designers like to work in traditional Czech companies where traditional creation processes are still being used, however, unfortunately more and more factories cease to exist, especially textile and glass ones due to cheap competitors. Still the production in glass and porcelain is the most famous in the world.
The exhibition presents Czech product design, manufactured products, and jewelery from young Czech designers.
The exhibition A Touch of Praha is a small excursion into contemporary production of Czech designers. To depict the context and circumstances in which the Czech design is being born, it is necessary to introduce Praha, the capital of the Czech Republic, where the majority of Czech designers works and have studied, gained experience, met their colleagues and found inspiration. There is no Czech designer whose production would not be inspired by Touch of Praha.
Companies and designers who are representive in the exhibition A touch of Praha:
Tactoo – Jan Čtvrtník; Rony Plesl, Qubus – Maxim Velčovský; Moser – René Roubíček a Jan Čtvrtník; Lucis – René Šulc; Tescoma – Ladislav Škoda; Cybex Industrial – (Koncern Design Studio) Jiří Přibyl, Martin Imrich; Klára - sklářská huť - Barbora Škorpilová, Mimolimit; Rückl Crystal – (Koncern Design Studio) Jiří Přibyl, Martin Imrich; Studio Pirsc Porcelain – Daniel Piršč; Elton hodinářská / Prim – Petr Andrš, Jiří Helikar, Michal Jelínek, Jan Prokop; Beldafactory – Jiří Belda; Zdeněk Vacek, Loci interier – Jerry Koza; Symbio Design – Jerry Koza; Meopta-optica – Jana Vaňková, Karel Čižmář; Moravské sklárny Květná – Olgoj Chorchoj, Český porcelán – Jiří Pelcl.

Intel and Asus (in Czech Republic) decided to organize competition for students to design Mobile Internet Devices - MID in order to inspire manufactures for new future development of this devices. Make your own opinion on if this aim was fulfilled. I think it is good intention and quality will grow in the future I’m sure about it. This year I didn’t see many innovative solutions. All off then were pretty much the same and were following the way of how mobile phones are constructed today.
What would be really fine for next edition of this competition is to have prototypes or at least mockups for winners (or give the winners opportunity build their mockups themselves with using prototype technologies in order to gain experience in this field, which would be quite handy for them) . So maybe collaboration with prototyping house would be benefit.
You can see all submitted works here.

Traffic light radical redesign? why not! We have a lot of possibilities to arrange shapes of lights now with super bright light emitting diodes. Art Lebedev Studio has took this chance and designed great looking and functional traffic light which can be fitted to any place around the globe and will not change face of the cities too much.

Perfect solution to increase pedestrian safety. New concept for crosswalks from Art Lebedev Studio.
This is very smart solution as during the night this crosswalks becomes dangerous places especially out of the city. Idea is to have double marking with illuminated stripes put above the road. So when pedestrians crossing the road is more visible for drivers. Also such a crosswalk mark will be seen for far away and indicate to driver that he should slow down.
First Air Crosswalks will appear in 2009 in Tumen, Russia, where this project got approved by the local road police department.
Congratulate to Art Lebedev for another bite.

SUPERMARKET – what it is about?
CHI-CHI
SUPERMARKET ́08 - when?
December 12-14, 2008, 10.00-20.00
SUPERMARKET is held for the second time intentionally during the pre-Christmas period. It is intended to be an ironic opposition to the current approach, full of unnecessary Christmas over-production of low quality, to which SUPERMARKET endeavors to offer a more purposeful and valuable alternative.
SUPERMARKET is opened from 10am to 8pm every day

One the parts of SUPERMARKET is also Market Líba, small market with products of designers which don’t have their own presentation, but their work fits into the “fresh” concept of the festival. Other point of interest is a SUPERMARKET library with books and magazines from Czech and international publishers aimed at design, graphics, architecture and lifestyle. There’s either possibility to buy selected books.

SUPERMARKET ́08 – for whom?
For all who are interested in culture, art, and particularly in design, that represents for them part of their lifestyles. For all who still do not know much about design but would like to have a better idea of it. For all for whom it is important to develop their own individuality and not to be a small part of the crowd. For all for whom design means one of the possible ways for self expression. For all who like beautiful and original objects and love to be surrounded by them. For all who do not want to miss this unique opportunity to meet the designers in person and buy their works directly from them.

STORY of the SUPERMARKETdesignfest
Supermarkets as temples of consumer culture evolving their own marketing procedures, logistics, and system of functioning are attributes of the XXIth century. Their occurrence, in particular in the Czech Republic, is enormous, and as such they have become an integral part of our lives. SUPERMARKET designfest is an original response to this phenomenon, trying to oppose it through offering experience of totally different nature. SUPERMARKET designfest grants experience which is not linked with cheap mass production products of questionable aesthetic looks, but with original, unique and well manufactured products made by young Czech designers with strong looks and added value. Products that do not lose half of their price at the very moment you buy them, but objects that are good investment and the value of which will most probably increase in future which is true not only for individual original pieces but for limited collections as well.
Whitefruits
Another reason why SUPERMARKET was founded is the current ambiguous situation in the area of the so-called authorship design. There are minimum occasions for young designers and artists to present their works for general public, in contrast to the mighty competing power of global companies and trade marks. Basic platform supporting and promoting young designers and providing them with space both for presentation of their works and for meetings that would cover their works, is still missing in the Czech Republic. SUPERMARKET endeavors to become the starting point in the vacuum, and to serve as one of the reasons for both newcomers and established young designers, why not to go in purely commercial sector. And last but not least: SUPERMARKET wants to become a temporary centre for the designers to meet, discuss, and exchange their opinions and experience, to establish new contacts and co-operation.
Zdeněk Vacek
If we look at the problem from the other side of view - view of the broad public and the producers – the situation is not “pink” either. Although their interest in design has been increasing gradually, for many people it is still the “great unknown”, although they “have heard” about it. SUPERMARKET grants people an opportunity to be introduced to pieces of art of good taste, about the existence, looks and quality of which many of them did not know, or did know but considered them too expensive to buy. SUPERMARKET wants to remove such taboos and help open eyes to all who are interested in design. To offer them works and products with pleasant prices, the origin of which is not based solely on market reasons but created with enthusiasm, which is reflected in the products´ quality and artistic value. And for those who already have enough information and knowledge of the Czech design scene, and enjoy owning original art pieces, SUPERMARKET is a good opportunity to come and see, and eventually buy, the works at a single place, moreover in friendly and relaxed environment.
