London Design Week filled the Design Centre Chelsea Harbour in March 2025 with 130 showrooms, more than 30 House Guests and a hundred talks and workshops.
London Design Week filled the Design Centre Chelsea Harbour from Monday 10 to Friday 14 March 2025, the week its showrooms launch their spring collections together.
The Design Centre has grown at Chelsea Harbour since 1987. It is built as a street of showrooms, each a house’s own space staffed by its own people, so a fabric is seen beside the collection it belongs to.
Some 130 showrooms took part in 2025. More than thirty House Guests joined them in pop-up space along Design Avenue, among them Rose Uniacke, Deirdre Dyson, Birdie Fortescue and the Italian wallcovering house Wall&Decò.
Romo showed Laura Stephens’s Aubin and Elson collections. GP&J Baker showed a Historic Royal Palaces range drawn from the tapestries and archives of Hampton Court and Kensington Palaces. Dedar set a weave flocked in Yves Klein blue beside a metallic jacquard of the same design.
More than a hundred talks, workshops and masterclasses ran across the building, with Faye Toogood among the headline speakers.
The week is the spring half of the Centre’s year. Focus follows in September and the WOW!house showhouse each summer.
