OBCANSKA PLOVARNA

OBČANSKÁ PLOVÁRNA

HISTORICAL BUILDING IN PRAGUE

Tapestries were created especially for the public place Občanska plovárna. The historic building was built on the Vltava river, which reflects in the interior of the building. Back in time, it used to be a natural swimming pool visited by local people from Prague. Even though the history of the building is now changed, the characteristics are still strong. The restaurant itself is a pleasant place for meetings and also organising private parties. The tapestries placed here are bringing the past back to the present and since the weaving tradition is strongly rooted in Czech history. Wnoozow worked with tapestry as a soft medium, which is changing the cold and pure structure of the interior. Textile tapestry brings out softness and cosiness in public space. All materials used are natural fibres such as cotton, leather and jute.
