We visit Northern Italy, stopping first in Murano to learn about the island’s glass production today, then across to Lombardy to reflect on the outstanding works on show at the Lake Como Design Festival. Plus, what are the challenges of designing bespoke interiors fit for the sky? We meet the founder of a luxury brand, Unique Aircraft.
