THE GUEST OF HONOUR PAVILION AT THE FRANKFURT BOOK FAIR
Slovenia is The Guest of Honour at the Buchmesse Frankfurt 2023, one of the most significant presentations of the country’s culture and literature in its history.
Studio Sadar, upon winning the public open competition, designed the 2,400 sqm pavilion for the event, which hosted some of the most important talks and discussions of the fair.
The pavilion strives to create diverse experiences for visitors and represents a synthesis between the cultural landscape and the reflection of words portraying the tradition of Slovenian language and the development of the written word.
