Chelsea couple open new apartment-style kitchen showroom following £250k investment

An entrepreneurial couple have launched a new kitchen showroom in the heart of Chelsea’s Design Quarter after £250k investement.

Entrepreneurs Sonja De Weyer and Patrick Gallagher have combined their backgrounds in fashion and interior design, property development, renovation and corporate sales to open up Mobalpa Chelsea.

The apartment-style showroom, which is part of leading French kitchen manufacturer Mobalpa’s growth plans in the UK, is located at the front of the Chelsea Creek fountain within the Chelsea Design Quarter and has created four full time jobs.

Designed to feel like a real-life living space and inspired by Parisian homes, the showroom encompasses an apartment concept at the front of the store with a kitchen, lounge and open plan study area.

Mobalpa’s innovative concept is designed to showcase a modern way of living with kitchen products, open plan areas, storage solutions and bathroom options displayed in a realistic setting.

Patrick said: “The combination of Mobalpa’s quality French kitchen cabinetry, innovative designs and business support with our interior design and property expertise means we’re offering Chelsea consumers an unprecedented level of kitchen knowledge and skill.”

Cyril Raberin, UK franchise director at Mobalpa commented: “It is a very exciting time for Mobalpa and we are delighted to welcome Patrick and Sonja to the team.

“Mobalpa Chelsea marks our third showroom in London, following the recent openings in Pinner and Richmond which are continuing to help raise the profile of Mobalpa specifically in London.”
