Bodo Sperlein’s showcase at DesignBlok 2026 transformed the Czech Modernist Pavilion in the gardens of the Museum of Decorative Arts (UPM) in Prague into a unified spatial experience. Bringing an international design practice into direct dialogue with the city’s architectural heritage, the exhibition established a single architectural framework and material narrative - embedding each partner brand within a cohesive visual identity that complemented the pavilion's distinct cubist character.
