When visiting the Milan Furniture Fair, Indesign’s Publisher Raj Nandan took a trip to Como. He and his party unwittingly stumbled upon the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este vintage car show.

Organised and sponsored by BMW Group, the show welcomed Vintage cars from around the world as well as concept cars, including the design award winner, the Aston Martin Lagonda, One – 77, Coupé and the BMW prototype, M1 Hommage.

Check out all the classics and the future of car design below.
