SavoirFaire pays tribute to craftsmanship. Architects, designers and craftsmen meet to create an enchanting experience together.

PERIOD
|
|
In autumn, people are still enjoying summer and can think about next year.
23 October - preview exclusively for professionals
24-26 October, 2025 - 3-day B2B & B2C event
|
It was with great enthusiasm that in 1928 the Nellens family entrusted the task of building the casino in Knokke to the young architect Léon Stynen and Stynen made an impact; even
Le Corbusier was impressed. The rest became history. The casino represents the iconic character of Knokke in the 20th century that attracted the "beau monde" with its magnificent villas in the Zwin. Both on and off stage, visitors enjoyed world-class performers. Even the future remains an interesting topic. |

It's no coincidence that SavoirFaire takes place in Knokke-Heist.
In turbulent times there is 1 real estate market that always holds its own, which place appeals more to the imagination as a national reference point for projects with a high level of finishing?
Both in terms of villas, apartments and rural homes, a sense of comfort or an interaction with nature (indoor&outdoor living) is often central.
