During Milan Design Week 2023, Convey launches its first edition with the ambition of creating a system that connects contemporary design companies with key players across the industry. Curated and led by Simple Flair, the project is conceived as a platform designed to accelerate the growth of a new generation of brands by fostering synergies, collaborations, and shared visibility.
The initiative emerges in response to a rapidly evolving design landscape, where independent brands are redefining production models, distribution, and the relationship with their audiences. Convey is created to support this new wave of design companies, encouraging collaboration, community building, and the creation of a shared ecosystem capable of contributing to the next international design scenario.
The first edition takes place during Milan Design Week at BasicVillage in the Farini district, in Via dell’Aprica 12. Set across more than 1,000 square metres, the space hosts a curated selection of contemporary design brands presenting new products, installations, and research projects. Among the participating brands are Bloc Studios, Vero International, Redduo, Forma Cemento, Stamuli, Wood Skin, Very Simple Kitchen, NM3, Dantenegro, 6AM Glass, Marco Ripa, Marimar, and Sunnei.
From its very first edition, Convey positions itself as both an exhibition platform and a meeting point for the contemporary design community. The programme unfolds through a series of events and activations including the opening preview, a special editorial event organised with Reading Room magazine, and Omelette by Mati Pichci, moments designed to bring together designers, brands, and the wider creative community.
