What’s for Breakfast?
Design from Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia & Georgia
24 June–3 July 2013
Writers’ House of Georgia
13 I. Machabeli Street, Tbilisi

The Creative Project Foundation commissioned national curators from Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Georgia to establish a platform for discussion about design within the framework of Platform Culture. A Central Europe programme, Platform Culture supports bilateral and multilateral relations through public diplomacy projects focused on common cultural values.

The exhibition featured breakfast tables laid with a selection of design objects that were created and produced in participating countries. They portrayed stories of daily life in each country while introducing fresh approaches to craft and design for the breakfast table. The collections included design classics and contemporary pieces that might share aspects of the same history but have never been combined before. This fascinating mix of forms, styles and materials demonstrated how much design varies not only from one country to another but also within national settings. Each piece from the breakfast table represented an interesting voice in the global discussion about contemporary European and Georgian ways of life.
