deComm: Places, Symbols, and Characters
Original drawings that reproduce and highlight the symbols of Como and its Lake decorate numerous products and souvenirs. Maddalena Colombo, owner of the deComm brand, showcases the Lake Como area by promoting its history and beauty through objects created from thorough research into local traditions, unique craftsmanship, and innovative design. For 10 years she has been creating items aimed at tourists who experience travel not only physically but also emotionally, while these same products are highly appreciated by local residents for their originality and their references to tradition. The designs are illustrated by hand by Maddalena or crafted by local artisans; the choice of materials favors those with low environmental impact, and collaboration with businesses and artisans from Como and its province ensures the quality and care of the deComm product line. The offering of handcrafted items linked to the local area is complemented by zero-kilometer food products. One of Maddalena’s strengths is the creation of customized designs for museum and villa bookshops, companies, private clients, cultural associations, and events such as weddings, first communions, confirmations, birthdays, and award ceremonies.
Some products are sold at local businesses such as:
