DE S IGN CENTRE
INNER CIRCLE A friendly hub at the heart of the showrooms, the Design Club has become the preferred working base for many professionals
Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour is a thriving hub for the industry – but membership of the Design Club brings you even deeper into the fold. As nomadic working has become a welcome reality for many businesses, the Design Club plugs that gap between a permanent office and being based at home – with the benefit of being just steps from the Design Centre’s 120 showrooms and 600 brands. “I’ve known the Design Centre for 20 years and seen
it evolve, but I only became a member two or three months ago,” says designer Laurence Elley, who set up his own business, the Bentley Group, after the company he was working for went into administration. “I mainly use it for meeting clients, who fly in from all over the place; I can book out some space and we can sit for a presentation. If I could have an office anywhere it would be in Chelsea Harbour – but for the moment, this suits us perfectly. I love it.” Kate Spence of HUB Architects and Designers
recently moved her office from London to the West Midlands, but with many of her projects still in the capital, the Design Club provided the base she had been missing. Like Elley, she meets clients here to explore
the showrooms, but it’s also a place for solo working, “where I know I can quietly gather my thoughts, catch up on emails, place orders and progress the delivery of projects,” she says. “While the noise levels are respectful and low, the club is also relaxed and a great place to chat and entertain.” The team, headed by manager Carol-Ann Boshoff,
go out of their way to make sure that members are cared for: expect to be greeted and recognised on every visit. “There is always a welcoming smile from Carol-Ann and her team, served with a fabulous cup of coffee and excellent food,” says Spence. Relax in the light, airy, comfortable space, designed by Rabih Hage, and browse the extensive library of design books and the latest magazines, making it an invaluable specialist resource for research. Membership also means invites to exclusive industry events, tailored to design professionals. Annual and corporate memberships are available, as
well as single-day and half-day options that are perfect for out of town or occasional visitors: securely leave your coat and laptop and head out to the Design Centre to take advantage of everything that the showrooms have to offer.
