Lake Como may be renowned for its picturesque waters, but its design scene is fast gaining attention, thanks to the Lake Como Design Festival. The sixth edition, which has just concluded, continued to spotlight the region’s creative side.

Since its inception in 2018, the festival has covered 12 sites, featuring over 400 designers, architects and artists. This year, highlights included a contemporary exhibit at Villa del Grumello and a unique collection of chairs at Palazzo del Broletto.

Beyond the displays, designers enjoyed the collaborative atmosphere, set against the backdrop of Como’s mountains and lake, the event offers a refreshing escape from Milan’s urban bustle.
