SUMMARY:EDIT Napoli 2026: Where Design Shapes
DESCRIPTION:EDIT Napoli comes back to La Santissima from 9 to 11 October 2026\, with a press preview on 8 October. For its eighth edition\, the fair brings together around 80 exhibitors from Italy and abroad\, plus a delegation of 40 international guests from 12 countries\, backed by ICE\, the Italian trade agency for export and internationalization. New formats and a wider spread of projects across La Santissima and Chiaia push the fair further into international territory\, while staying close to its roots: research\, authorship\, and quality design.  \nEDIT Napoli Essentials\nOctober 9-11\, 2026\nFor professionals and general public\nLocation: La Santissima\, Vico Trinità delle Monache\, 1\, Naples\nOpening hours: h. 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM\nSize: 80 exhibitors\, over 20\,000 visitors\nVisit website EditNapoli.com for more info \nTickets: €20 full price\, €10 reduced (under 25)\, free for under 14\nTickets are available online at editnapoli.com/visit \nDiscover EDIT Napoli 2025  \nEDIT Napoli 2025 at La Santissima \nWhere Design Shapes: the idea behind the 2026 campaign\nThis year’s campaign\, “Where Design Shapes\,” puts the design process back at the center: the materials\, the gestures\, the skills\, the relationships behind an object\, not just the finished result. At a time when design often gets flattened into an image or a trend\, the fair chooses to look at what actually builds culture and new opportunities. \nThat focus fits EDIT Napoli’s identity well. Born to give room to independent designers\, architects\, and small studios\, the fair keeps picking up on the new generation of designers\, studios\, and publishers testing out fresh languages\, materials\, and independent production models. \nEDIT Napoli 2026 La Santissima \nCamera con Vista: a new way to show design\nOne of the big new features this year is Camera con Vista\, a format that asks designers\, studios\, and companies to treat a room as a space to live in and experiment with. The rooms look out symbolically onto Mount Vesuvius\, each one offering a different take on contemporary living through furniture\, objects\, and materials — with the view over the Gulf of Naples as part of the project itself\, not just a backdrop. \nEDIT Napoli: the exhibitors and special projects at La Santissima \nSeveral special projects take shape at La Santissima this year\, built together with partners who bring their own perspective to the fair. \nLancia joins as Main Sponsor for the first time\, sharing the fair’s focus on design\, material research\, and Italian craft tradition. On the first floor\, Lancia teams up with DWA Design Studio for an installation tied to the launch of the new Lancia Gamma\, turning the car’s defining features into a spatial language of light\, material\, and movement. \nFrench designer and artist Olivier Vadrot welcomes visitors with an installation made for EDIT Napoli — a meeting point built to bring people and their surroundings into contact\, in line with his work across art\, design\, and public space. \nAmong this year’s exhibitors\, last edition’s winners Chiara Lionello and Katryna are back\, alongside many returning names and a new group of Italian and international designers\, widening the fair’s scope as a platform for research and experimentation.\n \nEDIT Napoli 2025 at La Santissima \nEDIT Napoli looks outward\nThe international side of the 2026 edition gets a further boost from ICE\, supporting the event for the first time with an incoming program bringing in 40 professionals — architects\, developers\, and media — from Mexico\, the Dominican Republic\, Costa Rica\, El Salvador\, Nicaragua\, the United States\, South Africa\, Switzerland\, the United Kingdom\, Japan\, South Korea\, and Poland. \nSpecial collaborations add to the picture: the dialogue with España Diseño Mediterráneo and the Instituto Cervantes of Naples continues\, and La Santissima hosts Cultural Currencies: Cape Town Furniture Week x EDIT Napoli for the first time. Curated by designer Francesca Lanzavecchia\, the show brings together five South African studios — African Jacquard\, Ananta Design Studio\, James Mudge Furniture Studio x Mungo\, Water Dixon\, and Wiid Design — putting Cape Town and Naples in conversation as two cities shaped by geology\, the sea\, and design that grows out of the land. \nSome previews from EDIT Napoli 2026 \n  \n\n\n\n	\n		\n			\n			\n		\n\n		\n		\n			\n			\n		\n\n		\n		\n			\n			\n		\n\n		\n		\n			\n			\n		\n\n		\n		\n			\n			\n		\n\n		\n		\n			\n			\n		\n\n		\n		\n			\n			\n		\n\n		\n		\n			\n			\n		\n\n		\n		\n			\n			\n		\n\n		\n		\n			\n			\n		\n\n		\n\n\n\n  \nEDIT CULT: design meets the city’s heritage\nAlongside the fair\, EDIT CULT returns — the spread-out program of exhibitions\, installations\, and site-specific projects that puts contemporary design in dialogue with the city’s historic and architectural heritage. Over the years it has taken over cloisters\, castles\, charterhouses\, and museums; in 2026\, the CULT route moves into Chiaia\, heading symbolically down toward the sea — a fitting move as Naples looks ahead to hosting the 38th America’s Cup in 2027. Historic palaces and churches\, normally closed to the public\, become the setting for new installations that put the spotlight on designers’ work and the processes behind it. \nThis year’s CULT program \n“Crochet Coral Reef” by Margaret and Christine Wertheim\, with the Museum Frieder Burda\, supported by Crédit Agricole Italia. Made entirely by crochet\, this installation recreates the structure and color of living coral reefs\, turning a handmade craft into a large collective work. Over 4\,000 people from different countries took part\, making more than 40\,000 crocheted coral shapes — together forming the biggest crocheted coral reef ever made. Two of its six “islands” come to Naples. (Museo Diego Aragona Pignatelli Cortes) \nEDIT Napoli Crochet Coral Reef. Photo Nikolaj Kazakov Karlsruhe\, courtesy EDIT Napoli \n“Archetipi di Pace” by Fabrizia Frezza with Felice Limosani. A site-specific installation across the five altars of the Chiesa di San Rocco in Chiaia\, exploring the meaning of peace and encounter through sculpture\, light\, and words. (Chiesa di San Rocco a Chiaia – Fondazione Pietà de’ Turchini) \n“L’Equilibrista” by Lombardini22\, with Mangini and B&B Italia. An immersive environment built around the idea of balance as something human and relational\, not just physical — a space meant to be walked through\, where every movement shifts the whole. (Palazzo Ruffo della Scaletta) \n“Controtempo”\, a show on glass master Massimo Lunardon curated by Domitilla Dardi. More than fifty works trace his collaborations with artists and designers over the years\, alongside a new monograph published by Corraini. (Fondazione Plart) \n  \nControtempo exhibition\, curated by Domitilla Dardi: works by Massimo Lunardon. On this image\, design by Antonio Aricò \nOther Special Exhibitions\n\n“Common Ground” by Margherita Rui\, with NasonMoretti\, Fornace Brioni\, Fortuny\, Imolarte\, and Amenta Incisioni. Five Italian manufacturing excellences come together around the idea of the table as a place for meeting and sharing. (Chiesa di Santa Caterina da Siena – Fondazione Pietà de’ Turchini) \n“Light on Spain”\, curated by EDIT Napoli with support from the PICE program\, featuring Tomás Alía\, Álvaro Catalán de Ocón\, Curro Claret\, Mayice Studio\, Lucas Muñoz Muñoz\, and Jorge Penadés. Six lamps by six Spanish designers take over the historic rooms of Palazzo Cellamare\, a building deeply tied to the long cultural exchange between Naples and Spain. (Palazzo Cellamare) \n  \nLight on Spain\, Lucas Munoz\, photo Francesco Stelitano\, courtesy EDIT Napoli \nThe jury and the awards\nThe award for the best unreleased product shown at the fair will again be handed out by a jury of industry figures: Aliai Forte\, designer and entrepreneur at Rocco Forte Hotels; Francesca Lanzavecchia\, designer; Asad Syrkett\, Head of Editorial Content at AD Italia; and Maria Dolores Uribe\, founder and Creative Director of Studio 84 and UNNO Gallery. The winner gets to come back and exhibit for free at next year’s edition. The jury looks for projects that combine smart design\, respect for cultural heritage\, and a well-thought-out price. \nA new workshop program at EDIT Napoli 2026\nFor the first time\, EDIT Napoli opens up a workshop program to the public\, built to show what design looks like beyond the finished object — through process\, gesture\, technique\, and material. This year\, visitors don’t just walk through the fair: they can stop\, try things out\, and make something alongside other people. \n“Brick after brick: bread after bread” by Studio CoPain. This French design collective invites participants to give stale bread a second life\, turning it into a material to build with. Through sanding\, scorching\, carving\, and cutting\, the group builds a small dream house entirely out of reused bread\, and even learns to make an edible glue and work with “dead dough\,” a traditional pastry mix. The workshop ends around the table\, sharing what everyone made. Duration: 3 hours. Up to 20 participants. Location: La Santissima. Saturday 10 October at 10:00\, Sunday 11 October at 10:00. \n“Woven 3D Shapes – Original Digital Technology” by Alison Grace Martin. This independent artist and researcher looks at the connection between geometry\, craft\, and the structures found in nature\, guiding participants through building woven 3D paper shapes. Inspired by the fragility of flowers and shells\, the workshop focuses on hyperbolic geometry and soft curves\, offering a slow\, hands-on approach to digital design. Duration: 3 hours. Up to 20 participants. Location: La Santissima. Saturday 10 October at 15:00\, Sunday 11 October at 15:00. \n \nWhy visit \nEDIT Napoli 2026 mixes rare\, independent design with real Neapolitan history — see it at La Santissima and inside palaces and churches usually closed to the public. New this year: Camera con Vista\, a Lancia-backed installation\, and hands-on workshops open to everyone. It’s a compact\, walkable fair with real international reach\, from Cape Town to Spain.\n \nEDIT Napoli Essentials\nOctober 9-11\, 2026\nFor professionals and general public\nLocation: La Santissima\, Vico Trinità delle Monache\, 1\, Naples\nOpening hours: h. 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM\nSize: 80 exhibitors\, over 20\,000 visitors\nVisit website EditNapoli.com for more info \nTickets: €20 full price\, €10 reduced (under 25)\, free for under 14\nTickets are available online at editnapoli.com/visit \nSome images from EDIT Napoli 2025 \n\n\n\n	\n		\n			\n			\n		\n\n		\n		\n			\n			\n		\n\n		\n		\n			\n			\n		\n\n		\n		\n			\n			\n		\n\n		\n		\n			\n			\n		\n\n		\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:ORGATEC 2026
DESCRIPTION:ORGATEC 2026\, the leading international trade fair for workspace and contract solutions\, opens in Cologne from 27 to 30 October 2026. This edition comes back with a tighter format built around business\, a second venue in the city at Design Post Köln\, and a special exhibition on the architectural thinking of Charles and Ray Eames. It also runs side by side with idd cologne\, turning the last week of October into a full Cologne interiors week.\n \nORGATEC 2024 \nA leaner ORGATEC 2026\, built around business\nThe furniture industry is going through a hard phase\, and several key European markets are still slow. ORGATEC has responded by reshaping its concept around a single goal: helping exhibitors and visitors do real business. \nThe most visible change is a more compact hall layout. Product segments are now grouped into clusters\, so visitors can find the brands they need faster and move through the halls more easily. For exhibitors\, the organisers expect more focused contact with decision-makers. \n \nWho is exhibiting at ORGATEC 2026\nThe exhibitor list is already long and keeps growing. In Workspace Solutions\, names include Haworth\, Humanscale\, Kinnarps\, Sedus\, Interstuhl\, Brunner\, Bene\, Thonet\, Pedrali\, Nowy Styl / Kusch+Co\, NARBUTAS\, Koleksiyon\, BuzziSpace\, Interface\, Japan’s KOKUYO and China’s Sunon. \nIn Contract Solutions\, visitors will find Artemide\, Muuto\, Kettal\, Lapalma\, Fermob\, Framery\, Viccarbe\, Casala\, COR\, Freifrau\, Crassevig\, String and Ege Carpets\, among others. \nAsia plays a strong part in this edition. Of the roughly 450 exhibitors registered by 21 August\, 139 come from Asian countries. That puts Asia just behind the EU\, which counts 174 exhibitors not including Germany\, and ahead of the 96 German companies. The rest come from other European countries including Turkey (30)\, the Americas (8)\, Oceania (2) and Africa (1). \nThe full ORGATEC exhibitor list and the hall plan are online at orgatec.com and are updated regularly\, which makes it easy to plan visits well ahead.\n \nDiscover imm cologne  \nORGATEC 2024 \nDesign Post Köln joins both ORGATEC and idd cologne\nThe biggest structural news is the role of Design Post Köln. For the first time\, the heritage-listed design venue near the fairgrounds takes part in two events at once. It works as an extra exhibition space for ORGATEC and as the central hub of idd cologne 2026\, the interior design days that run from 27 to 31 October with an urban-only format. \nInside Design Post\, ORGATEC brings in brands such as Flokk\, Hund Office\, Klöber\, Schneeweiss Interior and Wagner Living. On the idd cologne side\, the line-up includes Arper\, DEDON\, Lodes\, mdf italia\, Prostoria\, RIVA\, Ferm Living\, GLOSTER and Tubes. From here\, visitors can move on to machwerkhaus köln\, Design Season Cologne and the independent showrooms spread across the city. \nThis is also a step towards something bigger. On 1 January 2027\, Koelnmesse will take over Design Post and make it a permanent part of its event venues\, with the Koelncongress subsidiary in charge of marketing and operations. \nDesign Post Köln \nThe Eames Pavilion System by Kettal at ORGATEC 2026\nThe cultural highlight of the fair sits in Hall 10.2\, Stand N-048\, where ORGATEC presents the Eames Pavilion System by Kettal\, developed with the Eames Office. Visitors can walk through two full-size pavilions and look at archive material on the architecture of Charles and Ray Eames. \nBehind the project are almost three years of research\, led by Eames Office collaborator Eckart Maise\, starting from the Eames House\, Case Study House No. 8. The result is a modular building system based on a clear grid\, which can be set up for homes\, hotels\, offices\, retail spaces or exhibitions. It fits well with the fair’s theme\, “From rooms to relationships: designing spaces in an ever-changing world”. \nEames Pavilion System by Kettal and Eames Office at ORGATEC 2026\, Hall 10.2 \nTalks and workshops: Wherever Whenever – Work Culture Festival\n\n\n\nAlongside the product halls\, the Wherever Whenever – Work Culture Festival\, run by Germany’s Interior Business Association (IBA e.V.)\, takes over Hall 6 for all four days of ORGATEC. Talks\, panels and workshops look at how work and company cultures are changing\, around three themes: wellbeing and personal growth\, stronger connections within organisations\, and the bold choices needed for sustainable change. \nThe speaker line-up mixes design\, science and sport. It includes Carlo Ratti\, Patrik Schumacher\, Ole Scheeren\, Miriam Meckel\, Julia Hobsbawm and Maja Göpel\, together with former Formula 1 driver Ralf Schumacher and tennis champion Angelique Kerber. Around the stages\, visitors will find an art exhibition\, food courts and a podcast booth\, and on Wednesday 28 October\, from 6 to 10 pm\, the ORGATEC x WW-Festival Party brings everyone together on the Board Stage. \nWherever Whenever Work Culture Festival 2026 in Hall 6 at ORGATEC Cologne \n\n\n\nLess waste at ORGATEC 2026: materials and food donations\nORGATEC 2026 also looks at what happens when the fair closes. Exhibitors can donate leftover stand materials\, such as wood\, banners and carpets\, to social\, charitable or creative projects through the Trash Galore initiative\, giving them a second life instead of sending them to landfill. \nThe same idea applies to food. Thanks to a partnership with Tafel Köln e.V.\, exhibitors can hand over leftover catering from their stands at the end of each fair day\, and the food goes to people in need in Cologne and the surrounding area.\n \nORGATEC\, October 27-30\, 2026\nVenue: Koelnmesse\, Cologne\, plus Design Post Köln\nSize: 500+ Exhibitors\nParallel event: idd cologne\, 27-31 October 2026\nSpecial exhibition: Eames Pavilion System by Kettal\, Hall 10.2\, Stand N-048\nFor tickets and info: visit Orgatec.com\nEntry to Design Post Köln is free of charge
