Another day, another dazzling London development – and this time, the curtain has been lifted on a brand new show apartment at The Stage in Shoreditch. Here’s everything you need to know about this unique ‘shoppable’ space (and the wider development, which occupies the site of an Elizabethan theatre once favoured by Shakespeare).

Look Inside… A £1.8M ‘Shoppable’ Show Apartment At The Stage, Shoreditch

Looking for a pied-a-terre in the capital? If you’ve got just shy of £1.8 million in your back pocket, this gorgeous Shoreditch apartment could be yours. Showcasing enviable interior design courtesy of Dara Maison (a luxury furniture retailer helmed by Dara Huang, an architect and designer, and Chris Burch, co-founder of Tory Burch), the two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence is as picture-perfect as they come.

The 32-storey development itself stands on the grounds of the former Curtain Theatre, an Elizabethan playhouse that once hosted Shakespeare and the Lord Chamberlain’s Men. (Alongside rather contemporary amenities including a sky lounge, cinema, gym, bowling alley and golf simulator, The Stage will soon also be home to a new Museum of Shakespeare).

The apartments boast many of the industrial elements that you’d expect from a Shoreditch property (think metal beams, glass panels and exposed brick), and the Dara Maison team used these as inspiration for a New York loft-inspired aesthetic for the show apartment. Against a backdrop of rich cream tones and earthy greens, you’ll spot elegant Dara Maison pieces like curved velvet seating, sleek stone tables and boucle dining chairs. The best part? The apartment also serves as a Dara Maison showroom, allowing prospective buyers to browse the brand’s collection in person and recreate its aesthetic at home. A shoppable show apartment with a touch of Shakespeare – what’s not to love?
