For the first time since its extensive renovation, the Savarin Palace will open to the public and come alive with art during PAW24. For this purpose, the historical building has been lent to the festival by its main partner, Crestyl, which has been renovating the site since 2021. Visitors will have the opportunity to admire the architecture of the palace plus three exhibitions of contemporary art. There will also be several design pieces from THE DESIGN, inviting visitors to enjoy a nice coffee in the atrium of the palace together with the official distributor of free coffee at PAW24, De’Longhi. 

The exhibition of glass masters Rony Plesl and Martin Janecký showcases an exceptional fusion of traditional glassmaking techniques with modernist and avant-garde approaches in contemporary art. Rony Plesl, renowned for his progressive concepts and precise work with material structure, alongside Martin Janecký, known for his masterfully crafted figurative sculptures from blown glass, present their first joint exhibition. The exhibition highlights the extraordinary craftsmanship and creative ingenuity of both artists, who redefine the boundaries of glass art and serve as an inspiration for future generations of glassmakers.
