In a dazzling display of creativity and elegance, the much-anticipated Igloo Design Center officially opened its doors in Sterling, Virginia, this weekend. With a grand opening celebration that brought together artists, fashion designers, architects, and influencers, the launch event offered a glimpse into the future of modern design.
The center is set to become a cultural and creative landmark, bridging architecture, interior aesthetics, and cutting-edge innovation under one roof.
From the moment guests arrived, the ambiance at the Igloo Design Center was electric. Red carpets, glowing installations, and live fashion shows transformed the space into a creative paradise.
The event featured live art demonstrations, immersive installations, and showcases by top local and international fashion designers. Visitors experienced first-hand how interior design, technology, and fashion can blend into everyday life.
The highlight of the night was a live collaboration between digital artists and traditional painters, creating a real-time mural inspired by the fusion of modern homes and cultural heritage.
The guest list was star-studded. Celebrities, influencers, and design professionals from across the country flew in to witness the moment. Notable appearances included fashion influencers from New York, Hollywood interior stylists, and TikTok creators known for DIY home transformations.
Local artists and designers also received their fair share of attention, with booths and displays showcasing their talents throughout the venue.
In a statement during the launch, Igloo CEO Priya Sharma said,
“This center is more than just a building—it’s a movement to bring creative minds together and inspire design that speaks to every generation.”
Visitors at the event were treated to a curated exhibition of home design trends, smart furniture setups, sustainable materials, and modern architecture ideas.
Igloo Design Center features interactive showrooms that allow customers to walk through various styled home settings. These include kitchen, bath, and living room concepts inspired by global trends.
From earthy minimalism to bold maximalist decor, each zone was designed with smart lighting, automated controls, and eco-conscious elements.

Igloo’s concept is unique in the region. Unlike traditional design stores or architecture firms, it offers:
The Sterling location will serve as the flagship, with plans to expand in major cities over the next 2 years.
According to creative director Mark Waller,
“We’re redefining how people interact with design. It’s not just about what looks good—it’s about how it works for the future.”
One of the most exciting segments of the evening was the live fashion runway. Models wore outfits inspired by architectural design, with flowing structures and metallic accents that mirrored Igloo’s own signature spaces.
Simultaneously, an interactive art space allowed guests to use digital tablets to create their own color palettes and furniture setups. These were projected live onto a 3D-rendered room on display.
It wasn’t just an event—it was an immersive experience, meant to make every guest feel like a designer.
In a nod to community roots, Igloo partnered with local Virginia schools and colleges for the event. Student designers from art and architecture departments were given a platform to exhibit their concepts and network with industry professionals.
The opening also included a charity auction, with proceeds going to arts education programs in local public schools.
The support from the local community was visible in every part of the event. From small food vendors to emerging design students, the opening aimed to uplift everyone involved.
The launch is just the beginning. Igloo plans to host monthly events, including:
Igloo Design Center promises to be more than just a shopping or consultation space. It aims to be a living gallery where the future of homes and design is reimagined every day.
With over 30 design partners and collaborations with brands across the U.S., the Sterling facility is ready to be a pioneer in the field of accessible, innovative, and community-first design.
If you’re near Northern Virginia, the Igloo Design Center is now open to the public. Walk-ins are welcome, and guided tours can be booked online.
