Meet the Showroom: Hamilton
Get switched on at the recently opened Hamilton showroom
Never underestimate the power of electrical hardware to subtly enhance a design scheme. Whether it’s something designed to blend in, like a clear or custom-painted example, or something elegantly slim in a metallic finish that chimes with the wider room, the recently opened Hamilton showroom has the right product, with functionality every bit as important as aesthetics. Find out a bit more about the showroom from the company’s managing director Ian Hamilton, including its UK manufacturing prowess, bespoke capabilities and why it’s always best to visit in person to test things out.
What brought Hamilton to Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour?
Hamilton, founded by Rod Hamilton in 1968, has always stood for quality craftsmanship and innovative design. We feel Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour is the perfect location to connect with designers and architects who share our passion for detail and excellence.

What should we expect from the showroom?
A modern, inspiring space featuring client meeting areas, an extensive showcase of range and finish samples, and the striking circular wall of switches – a true showcase of our customisable designs.
Why should people visit in person as opposed to looking/buying online?
Visiting gives people the opportunity to feel the quality of our finishes and craftsmanship first-hand, especially as many customers enjoy physically testing the switches. People can also explore customisation options and receive expert advice tailored to their project.
