From 12 to 20 September 2026, Lake Como becomes a stage for contemporary design, architecture and creative culture with the eighth edition of Lake Como Design Festival.
This year’s theme, “Border”, explores the idea of boundaries not only as lines of separation, but as places of encounter, exchange and transformation. Across Como and Lecco, exhibitions, installations and talks bring together different perspectives on design and contemporary creativity.
Among the festival’s most evocative settings is Villa del Grumello, overlooking the lake and surrounded by an elegant historic park. Here, from 13 to 20 September, the exhibition Future in the Past invites visitors to look at the past as a source of inspiration to be reinterpreted through contemporary design, while the park itself hosts In Nature, an exhibition journey combining photography, storytelling and landscape.
Write us to experience the Lake Como from a new perspective: when Italian heritage meets contemporary vision.
