First launched in April 2009, for the Milan Furniture Fair it reached an estimated 20,000 people from over 50 countries, offering opinion, reviews, news and recommendations by tapping into peoples reactions to what they were experiencing in the fair events. During the 2009 London Design Festival The Incidental included an open-house publishing base and encouraged people to drop by, comment, record, tweet, email, text and use a mixture of digital and physical forms of communication to add to the user-generated content, which was then distributed through the four editions, daily redesigned, self printed, folded and packaged during the festival.
