Lars Kemper and Peter Olah founded the association Flowers for Slovakia in 2009. The platform promotes Slovak culture, traditions and techniques abroad by setting up collaborative design projects which enable young Slovak talent to use their skills to create contemporary pieces under the guidance of professional makers and designers. The selected design and creative students experience a professional environment through a series of workshops. The resulting creations then become part of a travelling collection of pieces which are exhibited at international design fairs. Since 2009 the association has produced three exhibition collections. The latest entitled Pass it On comprises of pieces which tell the stories of important personalities in Slovakia’s history.
