Boston Design Center
About
The Boston Design Center is a showroom building in the Seaport District that bills itself as the epicenter of design in New England. Its 70 individually owned showrooms fill more than 350,000 square feet with home and contract furnishings, representing over 1,200 luxury product lines. Design professionals and their clients come here to source fabric, furniture, lighting, antiques, fine art, wall and floor coverings, kitchen and bath components and contract services.
The center has served designers and their clients for more than 25 years. Though it is a resource for design professionals, everyone is welcome, and visitors without a designer can work with the in-house Design Services team. The building hosts events such as the Spring Market, along with seminars and talks featuring interior designers and editors. A second-floor space offers tables for client meetings, and cafes and restaurants line the building’s Promenade.
