This autumn you can catch up with the SOFFA team at several events.

The end of October kicked off the design exhibition season with Prague’s Designblok, where we presented our limited edition embroidered backpack and launched the SOFFA 17 calendar. We have barely caught our breath from this exciting Prague event and are already preparing for the second annual Meat Design Ostrava exhibition from 24 to 27 November. Back in Prague, from the end of November and right up through Christmas you can peruse the SOFFA magazine while visiting five stunning flats in Pařížská ulice [street] as part of the month-long Squat iD23 event. And right before the holidays you will see us at the Christmas Lemarket at the Manes Gallery. At all these events you will be able to view and buy our new SOFFA 2017 CREATIVE CALENDAR, which is featured on the following pages. We hope this will entice you to join us at one or all of these great events.

Wishing you an autumn full of design inspiration, Your SOFFA team
