About the exhibition:

The exhibition presents the designs of the designer Ferdinand Chrenka and student projects created under his leadership in cooperation with the companies BERNDORF-SANDRIK, TON, EGOE and CHIRANA-MEDICAL. The exhibition includes the CINK and CUCEJ porcelain projects and the LOWRYO and LUCIO gramophones by Ernest Marek.

The co-organizer of the exhibition is the city of Žarnovica and NEUMAN ALUMINUM FLIESSPRESSWERK SLOVAKIA. The exhibition takes place in the premises of the Žarnovické lower mansion. The town mansion is a national cultural monument, the late Gothic castle was built by the royal treasurer Urban Dóci in the years 1480-1485.

The name SPOLU refers to three decades of cooperation between the teacher and students, as well as to the equally long tradition of cooperation between the studio and companies.

The industrial design studio at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava is considered to be a representative of the creative space, the content of which is primarily cooperation with the corporate environment. Intensive cooperation with domestic and foreign manufacturers, institutions and organizations provided students with irreplaceable experience for their future development and work as a professional designer. Most of the semester papers present projects for specific companies, but the studio also addressed societal topics of an ecological nature with the aim of helping, informing or educating. Considerable demands were placed on the students of the studio. Often limited by production technology, selected materials and the vision of the given company. Despite this (or maybe because of these limitations), they come up with interesting ideas and innovations. Their ideas do not remain at the level of the concept, the students are led to realize the design. They transform a creative concept into a functional viable prototype, which in many cases is ready for serial production.

As part of the exhibition, the results of the studio's collaboration with important partners from the Czech Republic and Slovakia - with the firms BERNDORF- SANDRIK , TON, EGOE a CHIRANA-MEDICA and fragments from the work of Ferdinand Chrenka are presented.
