Alcova returned to Varedo for its ninth edition across four sites: Villa Borsani, Villa Bagatti Valsecchi, the former SNIA factory, and the Pasino Glasshouses. Each location—ranging from historic villas to industrial ruins—offered a different lens on contemporary design, guiding 70,000 visitors through a landscape of installations and exhibitions ranging from beautiful to bonkers.
Founded in 2018 by Valentina Ciuffi and Joseph Grima, Alcova has become a must attend exhibition of Milan Design Week (and Miami Art Week) celebrated for turning forgotten spaces into experimental showcases of the future of living.
