Up-to-date design centre (6)

I believe the answer is:

recent

'up-to-date' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'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 "Fresh - current" , "Having happened lately" , "Fresh, modern" , "Originating not long ago" , "Not long ago, quuite new" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
