A Vibrant Journey at EDIT Napoli
Naples, October 2024
Objects by Marie recently made its debut at Edit Napoli 2024, marking a significant milestone for the brand. Known for its dedication to craftsmanship, aesthetics, and functionality, Objects by Marie showcased its unique designs in the heart of Naples, Italy, at one of the most prestigious international design fairs dedicated to independent design and innovative craftsmanship.
A First Fair Experience
For founder Marie Vansteenkiste, Edit Napoli was more than just a design fair—it was a transformative journey. Accompanied by her son, she embarked on a 2000-kilometer road trip, transporting her creations and embracing the adventure that awaited. Upon arriving in Naples, Marie was immediately struck by the city’s warm atmosphere and vibrant energy.
Setting up the display was seamless, thanks to the support and enthusiasm of the event organizers. The passion of the Italian people, combined with the creativity surrounding the fair, created an inspiring environment.
“It was incredible to witness firsthand the creativity and enthusiasm that surrounded us. I felt like a small part of something much larger—a celebration of design and art,” Marie reflected.
Highlights of the Fair
Showcasing Unique Designs
At Edit Napoli, Objects by Marie unveiled a collection that reflects the brand’s signature style—an exquisite blend of sophistication and artistry. Visitors were drawn to the craftsmanship and emotional depth of each piece, sparking meaningful conversations about design and storytelling.
Networking and Collaboration
The fair provided invaluable opportunities to connect with fellow designers, manufacturers, and influencers. These interactions sparked new ideas and potential collaborations, further fueling Marie’s passion for design.
A Celebration of Creativity
Every moment at the fair was a lesson for Marie, from perfecting the art of presentation to navigating the nuances of networking. Meeting fantastic people with unique stories and inspirations deepened her appreciation for the world of design.
Discovering Naples: Humor and Heart
No journey to Naples would be complete without indulging in authentic Neapolitan pizza. After days of hard work and excitement, Marie and her son treated themselves to a local pizzeria, only to discover the unspoken rules of “pizza etiquette.”
“Apparently, you don’t fold your slice like we do back home! Who knew there were rules for pizza?” Marie shared with a laugh.
Looking Ahead
Participating in Edit Napoli 2024 was a pivotal moment for Objects by Marie. The experience not only amplified the brand’s visibility on an international stage but also reinforced its commitment to creating meaningful and innovative designs.
Reflecting on the journey, Marie shared:
“Edit Napoli was more than just a fair; it was a delightful discovery filled with learning, laughter, and new friendships. It wasn’t just about showcasing my tables—it was about forging connections, sharing ideas, and embracing the collective creativity of the design community.”
As Objects by Marie looks ahead to future events, the brand remains dedicated to elevating spaces and fostering connections through high-end furniture design.
