In the interior of the iconic Cafe Slavia<\/a>, whose history dates back to the century before last, Franti\u0161ek Jungvirt, in collaboration with the Czech Design Week<\/a> festival and photographer Anna Pleslova<\/strong>, shot a narrative photo editorial.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n On site for a limited period of one week (September 8-14, 2025<\/strong>), as part of the Czech Design Week festival<\/strong>, you will be able to see Frantisek’s glass installation.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Slavia<\/strong> has attracted artists since its inception. Due to its convenient location opposite the National Theatre, most actors would end up here after their performances. They were often accompanied by composer Bed\u0159ich Smetana and director Jaroslav Kvapil.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the last century, Slavia<\/strong> became the epicenter of Czech culture. Writers Karel and Josef \u010capek, Arno\u0161t Lustig, art theorists Karel Teige and V\u00e1clav \u010cern\u00fd, poets V\u00edt\u011bzslav Nezval and Jaroslav Seifert, painters Jan Zrzav\u00fd and V\u00e1clav \u0160p\u00e1la gathered here. While writing Budov\u00e1n\u00ed st\u00e1tu, Czech journalist Ferdinand Peroutka sat here, who had the necessary literature brought here from the Castle (which he then rarely returned to President Masaryk). Slavia was bustling. It experienced the funeral processions of Tom\u00e1\u0161 G. Masaryk and V\u00edt\u011bzslav Nezval, as well as the beginning of the Velvet Revolution or the visit of Hillary Clinton. If it can be said that Czech thought was concentrated somewhere regularly and for a long time, it was here.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sweet wreaths by V\u011bne\u010dky Jane\u010dek<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Floral decoration by Provon\u00ed<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Projekct supported by Czech Design Week<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Video by Vi\u0165a Bilanyuk.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Photos by Anna Pleslova.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Represented collections:<\/p>\n GARDEN OCEAN<\/a>, TRIFID<\/a>, COCO VASES<\/a>, GARDEN UNIQUE SCULPTURAL<\/a>, GARDEN BASIC CRYSTAL MATT<\/a>, WAVY VASE<\/a>, BLOOM<\/a>, BLACK TOWER<\/a>, GARDEN POLLOCK<\/a>, WHITE FLEUR<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n
