Modern centre design (6)
I believe the answer is:
recent
'modern' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'centre design' is the wordplay.
'design' indicates an anagram.
'centre' with letters rearranged gives 'RECENT'.
(Other definitions for recent that I've seen before include "Not long ago, a little while back" , "Having happened lately" , "Shortly before the present" , "Up-to-date" , "Modern -- centre (anag)" .)
