Festival del Legno di Cantù

Cantù and the culture of wood

Cantù, in the province of Como, has been synonymous with artistic furniture and lace for generations. The Festival del Legno celebrates this vocation by transforming the city into a grand narrative of 'saper fare' (know-how). Now in its 14th edition in 2026, themed 'Unique Pieces', the festival pays homage to the creative ability of companies, designers, and architects who have made Cantù an international benchmark for furniture.

Open Workshops and Design

The festival's format revolves around key events:

• Open Workshops: access to Cantù's renowned workshops, where wood becomes art
• Shopping & Design: the city's shop windows dedicated to furniture
• Incoming Buyer: B2B meetings with international buyers
• Festival For Children: workshops and activities for the little ones

These are complemented by talks, workshops, and cultural events that animate the city center for over ten days.

An International Creative Network

Since 2025, the Festival del Legno has been part of the Lake Como Creativity Week and is linked to the MOME project (Museum of Furniture and Lace), becoming part of the UNESCO Creative Cities network. Wood, iron, thread, and weaving tell the story of Cantù's two great traditions: furniture and lace.

On Lake Como

The festival is an opportunity to discover Cantù and its territory, just a few kilometers from Lake Como. An event dedicated to lovers of design, excellent craftsmanship, and the culture of handmade products.
