«Tu mi porti su», cantava Giorgia, e qui Torre Velasca prende la cosa piuttosto alla lettera: tra piani alti e rooftop, la Design Week 2026 si vive tutta in verticale. Al 16° piano, Polish Modernism: A Struggle for Beauty mette in scena un dialogo tra archivio e contemporaneo, raccontando il modernismo polacco come tensione culturale più che stile. Più su, CROMO debutta con una teahouse temporanea tra matcha, ritualità e tè “high-frequency”. Intanto, poco più in là, Convey occupa cinque piani in Via San Senatore con un concentrato di brand internazionali, exhibition e attivazioni, trasformando un intero building in una destination. Insomma: si sale parecchio, tra design, benessere e networking; il rischio, semmai, è che dopo il resto della città sembri un po’ in pianura.
«You lift me up», sang the Italian singer Giorgia – and here Torre Velasca takes that quite literally: between the upper floors and the rooftop, Design Week 2026 unfolds entirely vertically. On the 16th floor, Polish Modernism: A Struggle for Beauty stages a dialogue between the archival and the contemporary, portraying Polish modernism as a cultural tension rather than a style. Further up, CROMO debuts with a temporary teahouse featuring matcha, rituality, and “high-frequency” tea. Meanwhile, just a short distance away, Convey occupies five floors on Via San Senatore with a concentration of international brands, exhibitions, and activations, transforming an entire building into a destination. In short: there’s plenty of climbing involved, amid design, wellness, and networking; the risk, if anything, is that the rest of the city will seem a bit flat in comparison.
