On 3 and 4 October 2026 Milan hosted the first edition of COMBO Festival (Pedine, Dadi e Carte) in the Morel Milano spaces (via privata Gradisca 18): installations, talks and board game culture. In the following days, if you stay in town, keep an eye on the design thread: a meeting at the ADI Design Museum (5 October) and the ADI Design Index 2026 exhibition (1–15 October).
