Milan, the global capital of design, once again opened its doors to creativity, innovation, and forward-thinking artistry for the iconic 2026 Brera Design Week. This year, the spotlight shone brightly on the extraordinary collaborative exhibition BE THE PROJECT, brought to life by the prestigious French Design Award in partnership with the renowned Brera Design District.

Nestled in the beating heart of Milan's creative core, at Via Ponte Vetero 23, this exclusive showcase ran from April 20th to 26th, 2026, turning a refined pop-up space into a must-visit destination for designers, creatives, design lovers, and industry leaders from all corners of the globe.

As the 7-day exhibition came to a close, BE THE PROJECT left a lasting mark on Milan Design Week 2026. It proved that great design is not only about beautiful aesthetics — it is about bold vision, meaningful responsibility, and the courage to lead the change we want to see in the world.

For everyone who visited, collaborated, and explored this incredible showcase, this event was more than a pop-up exhibition. It was a reminder that every great idea can become a project, and every project has the power to shape our future.

We cannot wait to see where the French Design Award will take us next, and what extraordinary creativity will light up Brera Design Week in the years to come!
