# Designblok for life
The annual feast for all design fiends is set to take place between the
4th and 9th of October in Prague's districts of Old Town, Karlín and
Holešovice. These districts have become frequented by designers whose
shops and studios have mushroomed, especially in the increasingly hip
Karlín and Holešovice districts.
Designblok offers an astonishingly diverse display of
the best that contemporary design has to offer, both local -- an
unparalleled showcase of established and up-and-coming Czech designers
-- and international London duo **Barber and Osgerby**, creators of the
London 2012 Olympics torch.
Aside from industrial and product design, the event will also dedicate a
special section to fashion this year, namely the **Designblok Dreft
Fashion Week** which aims to be on par with its more established
international forebears. Designblok's 2011 leitmotif is fitting -- the
city with its various urban manifestations, be it architecture or
sustainable development as the haven for design and its creators alike.
