In its fourth edition, the project occupies an entire building, built in 1958, at Via San Senatore 10, near <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/architecture\/brutalist-landmark-torre-velasca-milan-mixed-use-tower-public-piazza-hines-asti-architetti-05-29-2025\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Torre Velasca<\/a>. For one week, the structure is reconfigured as a vertical exhibition across four floors and a rooftop terrace, where circulation becomes part of the experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Instead of a single curatorial narrative, the project unfolds room by room. Each brand takes over a defined space, producing a sequence of distinct environments rather than standard booths. Furniture, textiles, lighting, and material research sit side by side, with participants including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/patricia-urquiola\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Patricia Urquiola<\/a>, Stefan Diez, BIG-GAME, Panter &amp; Tourron, and Zaven, alongside emerging studios and independent designers.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1187497 size-full lazyload\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"convey turns late-1950s building into a vertical exhibition venue for milan design week 2026 - 1\" width=\"818\" height=\"546\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/convey-late-1950s-building-vertical-exhibition-venue-milan-design-week-2026-designboom-05.jpg\"  data- loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>all images courtesy of Convey<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Convey shapes a sequence from room to rooftop<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Movement through the building defines the visit. Corridors compress and release into different atmospheres, shifting from dense installations to more domestic setups. The absence of a fixed route allows visitors to build their own path, closer to a series of studio visits than a conventional fair layout.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The experience culminates at the panoramic rooftop terrace overlooking the city. Acting as the social core of Convey, it hosts informal gatherings and activations, extending the exhibition into a shared, open-ended setting. Conceived by the <a href=\"https:\/\/conveyproject.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">international creative firm<\/a> Simple Flair, Convey continues to evolve its format within design week. The transition to a single-building setup offers a more immersive alternative to the dispersed Fuorisalone model, concentrating brands, audiences, and events into a compact vertical destination.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1187496 size-full lazyload\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"convey
