With their extraordinary fabrics, they influenced the fashion industry. Zika Ascher celebrated his first major success in London with silk scarves. The scarves were designed by renowned artists such as Henry Moore and Henri Matisse. Later, Ascher supplied renowned fashion houses such as Dior, Pierre Cardin and Yves Saint Laurent with his fabrics. In their original homeland, however, the name of the textile manufacturer had fallen into oblivion.
The exhibition in Prague displays hundreds of exhibits – numerous fabrics as well as dresses, coats and blouses. A total of over 300 wall elements measuring 3 metres and 4 metres in height were used, including radius modules. A cinema with Mila-wall acoustic walls was also constructed. The design and layout of the exhibition are of the highest standard and are a perfect example of the flexibility of Mila-wall wall elements.

Mila-wall modular construction technology at the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague
‘When organising exhibitions at the Museum of Decorative Arts, it is important to have an exhibition system that allows us to flexibly change the layout for different exhibitions, a single system that meets all the parameters for various exhibitions, is modular, variable and compatible, and can be assembled quickly. The result of our long search, which lasted more than a year, was the Mila-wall system from the manufacturer MBA.’
