2025 Naples Winter Wine Festival
PROJECT RECAP
We’re always excited to partner with companies and organizations on custom pieces, but working with the Naples Children & Education Foundation and their event organizer, 50Fifty Events, to create designs for the 2025 Winter Wine Festival was particularly special.
Each year, the multi-day Naples Winter Wine Festival raises millions of dollars for programs that support underprivileged and at-risk children in Collier County, Florida. The Foundation has raised over $302 million since its inception in 2000, and has improved the lives of more than 300,000 children through its grants and partnerships with nonprofit organizations.
As the most successful charity wine auction in the world, Naples Winter Wine Festival has also become the event to attend for foodies and oenophiles. We were honored to work with 50Fifty Events to make NWWF 2025 extra special with bespoke art pieces designed for specific venues.
The NWWF 2025 auction raised over $34 million dollars, which is truly incredible! Below are photos from the event with the final pieces.
Producing, transporting, and installing a suite of custom pieces with intricate wiring was no small feat, and required a dedicated project team and talented vendors. We also worked with our very first group of Studio Lesec interns for this project; it was especially fun to help aspiring young artists build new skills and better understand the world of professional artmaking.
Thank you to everyone who participated in such a special install!
