Easter with CocoKarl
Tereza Janečková is a young, energetic designer from the Czech Republic who is collaborating with us on her project CocoKarl. It first started as a series of 3D printed objects; then she came up with a fashion show of accessories, later an expo with COK 3D printer, and finally, she brings new and novel ideas for her project – COCOKARL every day.
Hello Tereza, who is CocoKarl?
I am a hen farmer. CocoKarl is a cock that I’ve trained to snort his own name CocoKaaaarl 🙂
Why did you choose this particular chicken as your inspiration?
My show breed has fallen prey to a marten. It slayed seven of the beautiful Paduanek hens and ate them. I’m a designer, and that’s why I printed my Paduanek hens on 3D printer CocoPrint. But of course, I still miss the real ones …
We googled, and this kind of hens have been bred for aesthetic purposes for many centuries. Their name comes from the Italian city of Padua. Why did you choose this breed?
Paduan is a luxurious design hen, in style, it resembles Coco Chanel and Karl Lagerfeld. It’s been popular mostly in France where it was admired in posh royal gardens of Louvre. And there is also another part of my extensive project CocoKarl, which I presented at the renowned exhibition DesignBlock. In front of the historical building of Expo 58, I installed Porche luxurious coop for a city park.

Is this the only breed you farm, or you have some others, too?
My precious warrior rooster is my big inspiration for the jewellery collection Karfiol (cauliflower in Czech language). Thanks to him they get credits on Prague Fashion Week 2017.
How did a young woman from Prague (the capital of the Czech Republic) become a farmer in 2018?
I’m an Eco Urban Designer. We have been farming chickens from my childhood because eggs are the food of the future. There are people who come for my home-farmed eggs from the other side of Prague : ).
You have already mentioned the CocoPrint (from Trilab). So… have you solved the important question: What was first? The hen or the egg?: )
Ahahha :). The first was COSMOS. Then COCOPRINT and then Luxury EGGo Spiny Design :).
What are you planning next with CocoKarl?
We are all one universe. And my mission here is to deal with ecology. Thank you for sharing.
