New design centre (6)
I believe the answer is:
recent
'new' is the definition.
('recent' can be similar in meaning to 'new')
'design centre' is the wordplay.
'design' indicates an anagram.
'centre' with letters rearranged gives 'RECENT'.
(Other definitions for recent that I've seen before include "Present day" , "In the near past, not long ago" , "Fresh, modern" , "Just gone by" , "Done not long ago" .)
