\n 13. \u0141\u00d3D\u0179 DESIGN FESTIVAL
PLAY & JOKE
16-31.10.2008\n <\/h2>\n \n

\n The second edition of the festival was held under the slogan Play & Joke and focused not on function, form or price, but on the joy of creating and interacting with things. Over 100 artists presented their works, who discovered a different life of already known objects through surprise, wit and perversity of treatment. Carpets – puzzles, tiles – puzzles, stools – blocks, dishes – games. All this to engage the creativity and manual skills of the recipients. Design is no longer just supposed to meet needs, function or decorate – it is supposed to entertain. It is intended to be a cultural and environmental manifesto. Design has become the favorite mascot of the 21st century, effectively competing with, or perhaps rather accompanying, fashion. In addition to the question about the quality of products, there is an increasingly common question about the effect – surprise, shock, joke and fun.\n <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
