SavoirFaire 2025
*A Living Showcase of Architectural Precision and Material Beauty
written SARAH ARENDTS
From October 23 to 26, 2025, Knokke-Heist becomes a destination for design professionals and aesthetes. At the Grand Casino Knokke, the second edition of SavoirFaire brings together over fifty interior design studios, architectural producers, and emerging voices. The format honors built quality, refined material processes, and advanced craftsmanship.
LE MILE Magazine joins as a proud media partner of SavoirFaire 2025, reflecting the shared focus on form, process, and thoughtful execution. The fair takes place in a spatially curated format. Exhibitors receive individual attention, and each presentation serves as a standalone architectural fragment. The expanded format includes returning pioneers such as Inti, known for sculptural lighting that defines presence in space, and Lanssens, a heritage studio specializing in historically rooted window systems.
New exhibitors include Baswa, a Swiss acoustic expert working at the intersection of silence and surface, and DeltaLight, whose innovations in lighting explore scale and integrated architecture. These participants present material concepts that function as structural components. Antwerp-based Slag-werk offers dense, architectural furniture works that explore proportion and edge. Their output emphasizes surface depth and volume. Isabel Gomez Studio, active internationally, contributes interior environments defined by calm geometry and tonal precision.

A curated shuttle service connects visitors to real-time reference projects throughout Knokke-Heist. Guests move from the Grand Casino into finished homes and architectural interiors that apply the materials, objects, and systems featured at the fair. This direct experience bridges concept with completed space. It introduces scale, light, and atmosphere in real-world contexts.
The exhibition inside the Casino is constructed with intention. Each participating brand or studio receives space to articulate its approach. Every contributor offers its own clarity. Architectural finishes, bespoke hardware, precision lighting, and handmade furniture create an environment shaped by integrity and transparency. SavoirFaire’s reach extends across multiple disciplines. Architects, interior designers, builders, gallerists, and collectors will engage directly with the exhibitors. Over 2,500 professionals and more than 7,000 design-conscious visitors are expected. Conversations emerge around longevity and sensory quality.
The fair presents design as spatial language. Shapes hold stillness. Textures communicate presence. Acoustic panels, limestone slabs, and engineered joinery appear in settings that allow material weight to settle. Furniture pieces align with structural grids and light plans. Each element integrates with the others. Across the event, visual cohesion plays a central role. Curators focus on slow design, architectural logic, and reduction without absence. Bold pieces exist in balance with quieter statements. Ceramic objects and large-format textiles extend the material range while preserving spatial discipline.
LE MILE Magazine’s partnership amplifies this narrative. With its emphasis on form, clarity, and atmosphere, the magazine contributes editorial presence during and after the fair. Photography and reports will follow the event, tracing its spatial insights and its material contributions to the international design landscape.

Tickets are available via savoirfaire.be. The program includes guided visits, presentations, and architectural moments across Knokke-Heist. The fair opens daily during its run at the Grand Casino and includes reserved access for professionals and collectors. SavoirFaire 2025 offers a full encounter with space, object, and method. The material decisions on display affect surface, structure, light flow, and echo. These elements interact quietly, forming environments grounded in precision and discipline.
Each participating studio contributes work rooted in continuous refinement. The outcome serves residential, institutional, and cultural applications. Every item reflects advanced production and studied proportion.
This second edition affirms SavoirFaire’s intention: to gather voices across architecture, interiors, and object design under one roof, with attention to process, place, and depth. From custom flooring systems to marble detailing, from modular cabinetry to integrated fixtures, each decision adds to a larger architecture of clarity.
With the support of LE MILE Magazine, SavoirFaire continues to highlight designers and producers who work with care, scale, and awareness. October in Knokke-Heist brings these principles into view — through form, through presence, and through the lived experience of space.
