The exhibition celebrating the work of all four winners (Hussein Chalayan, Eva Jiřičná, Grace Wales Bonner, Neri Oxman) was curated and designed by OKOLO. Prague-based creative collective conceived the exposition as a multi-layered spatial installation to read, watch and explore individual winners throught their work, characteristic topics and tendencies and their overall impact on design culture in general. The installation, inspired by the idea of a card house and pages of the books will guide visitors through texts, images, illustrations, prototypes, materials and objects, narrating the creative story of each designer.
