EDIT Naples is a fair dedicated to editorial design: a space, curated by Emilia Petruccelli and Domitilla Dardi, in which to give voice to those who design and manufacture objects independently, not relying on a supporting production reality.
Independent design is gaining ground and the success of EDIT Naples 2021, which has just ended, confirms it. In the recent past, however, the subject of self-production has experienced a period of easy rhetoric. It seemed that the future craftsman was at hand, ready to almost naturally replace a production and a way of designing that in the twentieth century was based on industry and mass production.
This romantic idea has clashed with a more complex reality: today those who deal with self-managed productions know their great expressive potential , but also know how many problems it entails not to have logistic and technical organization of the company.
