Boston Design Center

Of the 18 showrooms at the Boston Design Center that offer fabric, the Martin Group stands out. Its 6,000-square-foot space brims with bold prints, and its staffers have encyclopedic knowledge to help you navigate the seemingly endless possibilities. And up on the fourth floor is the marvelously modern selection at Donghia, which stocks the largest range of textured, boldly geometric, and streaked patterns we’ve seen. All of this is enough to render the BDC the last word on contemporary textiles in the city.
