MARCOL, owner of Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour, is pleased to announce the launch of a new initiative: The Design Emporium Collective on Fifth

7 May 2026

Launched in Spring 2026, the Design Emporium Collective introduces a multi-brand concept space within the Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour estate. Located on the Fifth Floor of the newly redeveloped Design Centre East, it has been conceived as a curated destination, seamlessly integrating retail and experiential design. Developed to complement and enhance the established showroom offering, it is the first-of-its-kind resource for the design industry, representing a dynamic addition to the Design Centre’s vibrant ecosystem.

The unique environment unites 19 international brands and makers, each showcased within a dedicated space. Harnessing the power of the collective, original merchandising invites discovery, supports brand storytelling and creates a high-impact commercial experience. Created to meet growing demand, it serves as vital destination for professional designers, architects and specifiers sourcing for residential and commercial projects, as well as discerning consumers. The Design Centre’s Source at Personal Shopping service has also relocated there, along with its 60-plus china and glass brands. With a second phase already underway, the Design Centre continues to cement its status as Europe’s premier design hub.

Claire German, CEO of Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour, comments:
“The Design Emporium Collective represents a natural evolution of our offering – delivering a highly curated, design-led environment that responds to the evolving needs of both brands and visitors. It further strengthens Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour as a destination for creativity, connection and commerce.”

Mark Steinberg, Founder and Chairman of MARCOL, adds:
“This initiative reflects our continued commitment to investing in and evolving the Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour estate. The Design Emporium Collective introduces an innovative, flexible format that enhances the overall occupier mix and broadens the appeal of the destination, ensuring it remains relevant, dynamic and commercially robust for the future.”
