Markéta Richterová is a young jewelry designer well-known particularly by using non-traditional materials, as perspex, corian, or carbon fiber. Her jewelry can be described as a result of her work with light, structure, and geometry with iridescent effect. A new collection of carbon bracelets that have been of big success worldwide, will be presented at Designblok’09 in Superstudio Classic 7.

The new collection is a result of cooperation with Texeternal company who have developed metallic woven fabric made of carbon fiber exclusively for Markéta. Carbon fibers have been produced for usage in space industry based on their qualities – hardness and minimal weight. While metallic fabric retains these qualities, metal coating adds shine and visual aesthetic of precious metals, such as gold and silver. Fine scaly structure is a natural property of the fabric. Visitors to the Designblok’09 festival will be the first who can see, try and buy jewelry made of this fabric.

Designblok is a presentation of recent developments both in Czech and in world design. Annually, best Czech designers as well as young talented artists present their work at Designblok, this year from October 6 – 11, 2009.

Animalia project has been designed by Zbyněk Krulich, who is a student at the Dept. of Design and Architecture at VŠUP in Prague. He has designed a space landscape with Markéta´s jewels shining as stars. At the same time, Animalia resembles of a bizarre animal. The space atmosphere is created by changing lights of programmable LED reflectors delivered by ERCO company.
