Milan Design Week 2025 has just wrapped up—and what a week it’s been!
We’re proud to share a look back at the projects we’ve supported this year: exhibitions, installations, and special events that brought powerful ideas and design visions to life.

From press kits to strategy, we’ve been right there with our clients—making sure their stories reached the right people, in the right way.
Here’s a recap of what we’ve been up to during this edition.

The team @ Strategic Footprints

CONVEY
The project curated and led by Simple Flair, reached its third edition with a brand-new location in the heart of Porta Venezia.
This year introduced several new elements: a territorial project along the street with activations inside local stores transformed into exhibition spaces, the launch of the Convey Market, and much more.

VERY SIMPLE: PIZZERIA
noo.ma x Very Simple: Kitchen x Berberè
Design, food, and conviviality came together in one experience at Very Simple: Pizzeria, a project born from the union of Very Simple: Kitchen, noo.ma, and Berberè.
For the occasion, the Porta Venezia venue was completely restyled and became the launchpad for the Roto Plate—a stainless steel plate designed by noo.ma, combining durability with a contemporary aesthetic.

DEORON
Elevating Objects
The digital curation platform Deoron made its debut at Milan Design Week with DEORON – ELEVATING OBJECTS, a collective exhibition that brought its aesthetic vision into the physical world.
Over 40 international designer brands were on display—many of them exhibiting at Milan Design Week for the first time—without distinctions between emerging and established names.
The curatorial approach embraced industrial design, craftsmanship, and experimental works, while a cutting-edge sound system enriched the experience, transforming the space into an immersive environment.
