Lake Como Design Festival is an annual, city-wide program of exhibitions and installations staged across Como and Lecco, each edition anchored to a single curatorial theme — for 2026, 'Confine'. It's a thoughtful calendar entry for designers and architects planning Italian design travel, though the site is lighter on editorial depth than the festivals it sits alongside.

Munich-based industrial designer Felix Pöttinger runs a quiet, high-craft studio whose catalogue spans furniture, lighting, porcelain, and textiles for clients ranging from BMW to Nymphenburg.

NOT A HOTEL is a Japanese concept blending vacation homes and membership-based stays in architect-designed properties. It's a useful reference for designers and architects interested in hospitality-driven residential concepts, though it functions more as a brand showcase than a deep resource.
