Navy Yard Charleston is set to unveil the Charleston Design District this fall, which is planned to be a hub for designers to create, collaborate, and source premium home furnishings. Located within the historic former Charleston Naval Base, the district will feature a mix of design showrooms and maker spaces.
Spanning multiple areas of the historic campus, the Charleston Design District will offer up to 150,000 sqft of showroom space. Home furnishings companies Kravet, Schumacher, and Textures have signed leases for their first-to-market showroom locations, joining established Charleston businesses like The Urban Electric Co., Fritz Porter, and Smithey Ironware Company.
Design showrooms will be centered around Storehouse Row, a collection of repurposed turn-of-the-century storehouses. The showrooms in Storehouse Eight and Nine will offer everything from high-end fabric, wallpaper, and trim to wood flooring solutions.
