Tadeas Podracky is an experimental designer who is seeking authenticity in our immediate surroundings.
Through material research, questioning craft heritage, and strong hands-on making, Podracky proposes a new methodology, a reformulated approach to design, based on exploring expression, destruction, and accenting individuality. Whether it is an object or space, he is always looking for a way to break down the established principles of “good” design; in order to bring new possibilities and emphasize the multi-layered identities of the contemporary individual.
Tadeas Podracky went through the design and fi ne art academic training. He received a MA in Contextual Design from the Design Academy Eindhoven and MA at the Academy of Art Architecture and Design in Prague; completed study internships in the Fine Art studio at the School of Visual Arts (New York) and in the Monumental Sculpture studio at the Academy of Fine Arts (Prague).
His work has been exhibited worldwide in main institutions and fairs such as Design Miami, FOG San Francisco, Maison et Objet Paris, Mudac museum Lausanne, Het Nieuwe Instituut, Designblok Prague, Salone del Mobile Milano, London design festival, Dutch Design Week, Venice Design Biennial.
