On the lively Via Borgovico, only a few steps from the lake and the historic centre of Como, the former Church of Santa Caterina stands as an architectural jewel whose purpose has evolved repeatedly over the centuries: from a place of worship to a temporary military barracks, from a cotton mill to a grocer’s warehouse, and ultimately to a venue devoted to the arts.
Today, Nomade and Ultrapresent Studio – respectively offering strategic consultancy and multidisciplinary design services within the hospitality sector – present their own interpretation of the lobby: a space typically associated with hotels and, by definition, open and accessible to all. It is a place that nurtures meaningful connections between people, gathering cultures and ideas opens during the seventh edition of the Lake Como Design Festival with a site-specific installation. A setting imbued with art and design, where encounters occur, where glances, handshakes and minds converge to inspire and shape new forms.
