Bratislava Design Week

During the most intensive design week in Slovakia, a number of designers, students and design studios will present their work – and this year’s theme is courage.

We invite you to the Bratislava Design Week festival, which will take place from 6 – 10 December 2023 and will take place in 2 venues: the Prior OD on Kamenné námestie and the Bratislava City Gallery.

This year’s theme is COURAGE.

The Bratislava Design Week festival always chooses a theme based on the current contemporary feeling. This year we have defined it as COURAGE. Our society is living in very tense times that try to corner us. Crisis has moved into our society in various forms, economic, social, relational, values, professional, environmental, etc. The basic prerequisite for the existence of communities, which is peace, is still under threat. Nevertheless, this is no time to lament.

It is RESPECT that is becoming important. The courage to step in a new direction, to look at problems from a different side, the courage to disagree, the courage to stand up for the weak, the courage to move forward, the courage to show who I am, the courage to experiment. All of this is as important to the company as it is to the work and position of the designer.
