Zlin

Design inherently belongs to Zlin. Design influences the life of every citizen, often unnoticed. We will give it a space to shine and to be understood by people, to be appreciated and to inspire.

Future is!

Last year we focused on the future of design and innovation. During this week, inspiring exhibitions, workshops and other events brought young talents together with professionals. Design was showcased as an innovative tool to tackle challenges and shape a better future. New projects and collaborations that pushed the boundaries of creative thinking were an important part of the event.

A week of experiences

Zlín will come alive with design day and night. Exhibitions, cultural experiences, installations in modules, lectures, workshops, fashion shows, excursions and unbeatable parties. The atmosphere cannot be described, you have to experience it!




What do they say about us?

“The event, connected to Tomáš Bata University, regularly presents the best of the local design scene. During the accompanying programme, you have the chance to listen to the visions of international leaders in the field, which have often not been seen in Prague before. No wonder. The event is produced at an excellent level.”

“The city of Zlín was originally built on a vision of inclusion, social belonging and sustainability and has been a great inspiration for us. We can’t stop talking about how much of an inspiration Zlin Design Week was for us participants, the students involved, the speakers and the exhibitors from Norway. We are convinced that Zlin Design Week is unique and deserves national recognition and support.”

“Design Week can open your eyes. How interesting design is all around us. What all falls into that box. How advanced design is all over the Czech Republic. And that a student event can be professional and well done.”
