program

Designers, artists, publishers, and galleries come together for the first time in the historic rooms of Villa del Grumello, nestled in a vast garden and overlooking the first basin of Lake Como.

Lake Como Design Festival renews its appointment with a selection of contemporary design curated by Giovanna Massoni.

On display, the fragment in the theoretical and architectural work of Aldo Rossi—a theme that runs through his practice from the 1960s.

Special screening of the documentary film directed by Francesca Molteni and Mattia Colombo.

Lake Como Design Festival opens the doors of the Asilo Sant’Elia and presents the project Piccoli Razionalist.

For this seventh edition, the festival once again offers a series of lessons led by architects, introducing to the masterpieces of Como’s Rationalist architecture.

A solo exhibition inaugurates the new spaces of the Ico Parisi Design Archive. Works that evoke a disorienting idea of fragmented imagery, an integral part of the artist's design-oriented research.

A small miscellany of sources of inspiration, notes, and photographs helps to assemble—like a puzzle of other fragments—a lightly sketched portrait of the artist.

The exhibition stages five urban corings in the disappeared Como, five examples of the historic palimpsest rewritings in the areas.

Within an Antica Nevera, itself a fragment of a vanished time, Virginia Guiotto’s photographic tale unfolds. It celebrates a motion without end, where fragments, stilled yet alive.

At the former Church of Santa Caterina, a place that nurtures meaningful connections between people, gathering cultures and ideas.

Lake Como Design Festival invites to discover a selection of places where design, creativity and culture meet.

Serra del Grumello hosts a series of meetings to explore the theme of this seventh edition from different perspectives.

For its seventh edition the scenic Serra del Grumello once again transforms into a lively meeting point: café, bistrot, workshops and talks.
