The Latest Crop of Showrooms Elevating New York’s Design Scene

New Yorkers have access to some of the world’s most rarefied design showrooms, from the heritage Italian brands transforming Madison Avenue into one of the world’s most sought-after design destinations to one-stop hotspots like the New York Design Center and the Decoration & Design Building. Keeping up with so many openings can overwhelm even the most in-the-know design enthusiast, so we rounded up a list of the city’s most exciting showroom debuts that should be on any design professional’s radar this fall.   

1. Chelsea Textiles  

Building on the warm, residential spirit of its Pimlico Road flagship in London, Chelsea Textiles’s newly opened showroom at The Fine Arts Building spans six distinct spaces and a library hall within a 4,000-square-foot space designed with esteemed British firm Sims Hilditch. Venetian plaster, hand-brushed paint, and finely crafted paneling all set the tone for exquisitely layered vignettes outfitted with antiques, collectible art, and embroidered fabrics. “We want to create an ambiance that expresses our perspective and inspires our clients,” says design director Jenny Simpson. New collections include midcentury, faux bamboo, French and English Country, and a dedicated gallery that exclusively shows Robert Kime’s draped fabrics, upholstered furniture, lighting, and an evolving selection of antiques. The Chelsea palette carries through every room, from damask-covered foyers to worktables flanked by wings of embroidered textiles.  

2. Fisher & Paykel 

Fisher & Paykel has reopened its New York Experience Center at the Architects & Designers Building with a fully reimagined, 6,400-square-foot showroom that expresses the New Zealand brand’s approach to performance and elemental luxury. Designed in collaboration with Schiller Projects, it incorporates materials like American walnut and bluestone in reference to Manhattan’s urban fabric and features four distinct kitchen environments by Arclinea, Henrybuilt, Space Theory, and Edgewood Made. Visitors can experience the brand’s expanded induction cooking portfolio, the Series 11 Fabric Care Cabinet (coming in 2027), and custom scenarios ranging from compact kitchens to an outdoor cooking suite. It also debuts soon-to-launch innovations like the Series 11 Fabric Care Cabinet, which steams, deodorizes, and sanitizes garments without relying on dry cleaning or chemicals. 

3. De Le Cuona  

After 15 years in the D&D Building, De Le Cuona is marking new beginnings at the New York Design Center with a pristine showroom that distills the tactile richness of its sumptuous textiles into a moody, atmospheric space that founder Bernie de Le Cuona realized in collaboration with designer Cameron Heller. Materials like rough-hewn timber, plaster walls, and a cloth-draped ceiling evoke the brand’s Belgian, English, and South African roots while anchoring the showroom in physical texture. The open layout divides into three zones, starting with a central gallery where textiles are displayed on upholstered seating and a color wall. Timber-framed openings then lead into the workroom, a hands-on environment featuring fabric wings and a play table where designers can experiment with one-yard samples. There’s also an accessory shop showcasing cushions, throws, and woven benches meticulously crafted by Hlabisa basketweavers. A custom cabinet with drawers of embroidery and stitching samples, meanwhile, offers a close-up view of the brand’s tailored capabilities.  

4. Pooky  

Beloved for its mix-and-match options and irreverent approach to British lighting, Pooky has brought its signature style Stateside with a vibrant new showroom at the New York Design Center following a yearlong pop-up at ABC Carpet & Home. Founded in London in 2014, the brand has amassed a cult following for its colorful lamp bases and handmade shades sold separately to let designers and homeowners build endlessly customizable combinations. The 1,400-square-foot space showcases Pooky’s full range of pendants, sconces, and table lamps, spanning maximalist florals to midcentury-inspired silhouettes. “We’re here for the designers, decorators, and anyone who wants lighting that makes a statement,” says founder Rohan Blacker. 

5. Luke Lamp Co. 

Luke Lamp Co. is bringing its sculptural luminaires into sharper focus with a 550-square-foot showroom on Mott Street in Nolita—its first physical retail space since launching in 2011. Designed with Brooklyn-based Studio Melrose, the storefront forges a refined, home-like atmosphere through layered details: a striking large-format photograph by Jodie Jacobson Melrose anchors the entry gallery, while works from Uprise Art, furniture by Rachel Donath, and rugs by Nordic Knots complement the brand’s signature LED rope-driven fixtures. The showroom debuts four new lighting families—Mercer, Essex, Bayview, and Rivington—each designed with compact footprints and clean-lined profiles across flush mounts, sconces, and pendants, all crafted in Mamaroneck, New York. At its center is a limited-edition sculpture by Kelly and David Melrose that fuses plaster, wood, and rope light into a striking study in form and material. “Lighting is one of the most powerful tools in shaping how a space feels,” Kelly says. “With the opening of this new space, we can now showcase that philosophy in full dimension.”  

6. Corston Architectural Detail 

The satisfying weight of a hand-finished brass switch plate is difficult to convey online—which explains why Corston Architectural Detail recently expanded Stateside with a showroom at the New York Design Center. Designed to be fully tactile, the well-appointed space invites visitors to handle and test the British brand’s precision-engineered switches, sockets, lighting, and hardware, all fabricated in-house and offered in classic finishes like antique brass, polished nickel, and bronze. Products are organized by collection and application, allowing designers to see how coordinating components function together across residential and commercial settings. The layout centers on a large table surrounded by mounted configurations that emphasize proportion, finish variation, and mechanical feel. “This space is about giving designers the tools and inspiration they need, all in one place and on their timeline,” says co-founder David Gray. 

7. Turri 

To mark its centenary, Turri has opened its first dedicated U.S. showroom on the sixth floor of the Dexelance hub on Lexington Avenue in Manhattan. Joining a design-focused collective that includes Meridiani, Davide Groppi, Gervasoni, Axolight, and Flexalighting, the space presents curated vignettes of the Italian brand’s contemporary and bespoke furnishings. Highlights include new collections and full-height boiserie panels in woven leather, glossy lacquer, and frisé sycamore, each showcasing Turri’s signature craftsmanship and refined detailing. “Approaching the American market through a space in New York is a strong and strategic choice belonging to a reinforcement plan of our international presence,” says CEO Andrea Turri. While the brand already maintains sales partnerships in Palm Beach and West Hollywood, this is Turri’s first fully branded showroom in the United States. 

8. LIXIL 

Spanning nearly 10,000 square feet, LIXIL’s recently opened Flatiron District experience center showcases the latest products from its industry-leading portfolio: American Standard, Grohe, DXV, INAX, and Basco. Designed in collaboration with Paris interior design agency Malherbe, the all-in-one showroom features operational kitchen and bath vignettes, including a live kitchen and a fully functioning shower room with customizable spray settings. Throughout, reflective surfaces, ambient sound, and a fluid layout evoke the movement and serenity of water. Jean-Jacques L’Hénaff, leader of LIXIL Global Design, Americas, likens the hub to a bridge between inspiration and realization: “This hands-on experience fosters trust, sparks creativity, and empowers customers to make confident, informed decisions.”
