In the fall of 2022, we participated for the first time in the design and fashion showcase Designblok. At this prestigious event, we presented an exhibit built on a combination of 3D-printed fortifications and several distinctive elements created specifically for the Designblok theme - forest vs. jungle. We brought to Prague a tangible representation of conflict, showcasing our perspective on its impact on Czech society and introducing one of the modern trends in construction to the visitors of this prestigious event.
We have a decade of experience in robotics and industrial automation, collaborating successfully with global companies. Since 2021, we have been transferring this knowledge to the construction and architecture industry, aiming to push boundaries in this field as well. 3D printing not only brings material savings but also addresses the shortage of human labor in construction. Simultaneously, it provides architects with significant freedom and opens up new possibilities in architecture. In the spring of 2022, the conflict in Ukraine affected the development of our technology. We decided to help in a way we know best. Instead of benches and other furniture, our architects began designing modular fortifications against light and medium-caliber weapons, which received the name MoDeSty (Modular Defense System).
Visitors to Designblok had the opportunity to see a demonstration of our defense furniture firsthand. Specifically, we exhibited a modified checkpoint, a structure designed for patrols at facilities and roads, suitable for use by the military, police, or customs officials, but also with general applications. The showcased example had a modified interior inspired by the theme of the forest (Designblok 2022). The exterior of the checkpoint retained its military appearance. This contrast was intended to draw attention to the conflict Europe finds itself in: while we can seek refuge comfortably inside and debate about war, there is an ongoing real war beyond our borders. The presentation was aptly named "Between Conflicts," reflecting this idea.
