Relay - Representing future-focused innovation and sustainable design.

Three people in a modern office talking and sharing ideas. One person is sitting on a black stool, while two are standing. They have a bright, airy space with large windows, plants, and stylish furniture.

Founded by Neil Walsh and Richard Healy, Relay is a London-based agency, brand advisory and commissioning platform for new design. Since 2009, Relay has sought to work with future-focused companies engaged in sustainable manufacturing and design innovation.

"Relay - an incubator for new design" – Dezeen

“Relay identifies ones to watch in design [...] we’ve tapped into their knowhow on numerous occasions. We’ve always found them to be generous with their time and spot on when identifying ones to watch and trends in the world of contemporary design.” – OnOffice Power List

As an agency, Relay represents leading contract furniture, lighting and acoustic brands, promoting them to the A&D community. Working closely with a network of dealers and resellers these brands have been featured in leading design schemes throughout the UK and Ireland.
As advisors, Relay consults across a broad range of design brands, fairs and publications. From international manufacturers wishing to explore opportunities in the UK and Ireland, to interior designers & architects seeking up-to-date trend reports on emerging themes and new design.
As commissioners, Relay initiated a projects platform showcasing unique & limited edition designs. The invitation to produce work as part of Relay Design Projects has a strong focus on experimentation, allowing artists and designers space to produce work outside of their regular remit.
