For its third edition, Lake Como Design Fair is expanding and inaugurating a new broader format. After two years as an exhibition, the Lake Como Design Festival now comes into being as an immersive experience. The festival will unfold with a series of events in the historic centre of the city of Como, involving the city and its lake at an urban scale.

The Ridotto, the large foyer of the Teatro Sociale of Como, and heart of the previous fairs, will host the exhibition History Repeating: How designers Look at History. The exhibition will show how designers and businesses look at the past as a richly nuanced project theme, where diverse interpretations arise, not only nostalgic in nature, but also embracing numerous different approaches such as reworking, research, provocation and affiliation.
