Lake Como Design Festival Returns with Neo-Nomadism Theme and ERRANTI Exhibition
The fourth edition of the Lake Como Design Festival is set to take place from September 17 to 25, 2022, under the organization of Wonderlake. This year's theme, Neo-nomadism, explores lifestyles shaped by the pandemic and historical migrations influenced by climate change. A key feature is the ERRANTI exhibition, curated by Francesca Alfano Miglietti, showcasing artists such as Hanna Burkart, Franko B, and Enzo Mari at Palazzo del Broletto and Palazzo Mugiasca. An Open Call for independent designers will be hosted at Museo Casartelli, with online auctions beginning on September 16. Additionally, Galerie Philia will unveil a multi-curated installation at Casa Bianca, and Villa Gallia will host the collective exhibition In Search of Lost Time.
