Where to Buy Furniture in Shenzhen: A Guide to ADC’s 4 Halls

If you are planning a sourcing trip and searching for where to buy furniture in Shenzhen, the quickest answer is to start in one place that brings many brands together. At ADC Art Design Center, furniture runs through all four halls, from original-design studios and imported collections to outdoor ranges for hotels and villas. This guide explains how the halls are organised, what each floor is best for, and how to plan a furniture buying day so you leave with a clear shortlist.

Why buy furniture in Shenzhen

Shenzhen sits at the centre of South China’s furniture and home décor supply chain, with Guangzhou, Foshan and Dongguan all within easy reach. For overseas buyers, that means you can see design-led collections, compare finishes and talk to brands directly, then return home with suppliers who can make, customise and ship.

The challenge is time. Visiting showrooms one by one across different districts can take days. A single destination where hundreds of furniture brands sit under one roof lets you compare styles, materials and price positions in a morning instead of a week.

It also means you can see the quality for yourself. Photos and catalogues rarely show how a frame is joined, how a fabric wears or how a finish looks in daylight, and those details decide whether a piece works for your customers.

Furniture at ADC: the short version

ADC opened in 2000 and covers 200,000 square metres across four halls, with more than 1,600 brands and factory-direct stores in total. Furniture is the largest single category. In brief:

• Phase II · Aesthetic Furniture Hall is the main furniture hall, with nine floors of collections.
• Phase I · Decorative Arts Hall adds design brand showrooms on floors 6–9, useful for statement pieces and styling.
• Phase III · Home Living Hall has premium home collections on floors 1–2.
• Custom Design Hall hosts brand flagship showrooms and design studios for made-to-order work.

ADC is open every day, 9:30 AM – 7:00 PM, and is a 200-metre walk from Hongling North Station, Exit D (Metro Lines 7 and 9).

A floor-by-floor guide to Phase II

If furniture is your main category, start in Phase II, the Aesthetic Furniture Hall. Each group of floors has its own focus, so you can go straight to the styles that match your market.

Floors 1–2: Total Design Solution

Art furniture and whole-house fit-out collections. This is a good starting point for buyers furnishing complete homes, show flats or villa projects who want a coordinated look across rooms.

Floor 3: Smart Selection

Whole-home customisation, art building materials and smart home products. Useful when your project needs built-in pieces, cabinetry or finishes that work alongside loose furniture.

Floors 4–6: Eastern Aesthetics

Rosewood, New-Chinese furniture, art home pieces and tea and incense culture. Buyers looking for contemporary Chinese design, or pieces with a strong craft story, will find the widest choice here.

Floor 7: Imported Furniture

Imported furniture and accessories, for buyers who want international brands alongside Chinese collections in one visit.

Floors 8–9: Creative Design Park

Designer brand stores and design studios. This is where to look for original-design pieces and newer brands, and where designers often find work that is not yet widely distributed.

Furniture collections to explore

The furniture collection on our website lets you browse brands by type before you travel. Two sub-collections are especially useful for overseas buyers:

• Original design furniture, from Chinese design brands and studios, often with custom sizes and low minimum orders.
• Outdoor furniture, including contract-grade sofas, loungers and dining sets for hotels, villas and resorts.

Two brands to start with:

• HIGOLD, premium original outdoor furniture since 2005, a strong fit for hospitality and villa projects.
• DAaZ, modular wabi-sabi furniture for young homes, suited to retailers and apartment projects.

Use the brand directory to filter by category or hall and see each brand’s showroom location before your visit.

What furniture brands at ADC typically offer

Every brand sets its own terms, but these options are common among ADC’s furniture brands:

• Contract-grade ranges built for commercial use in hotels, restaurants and serviced apartments.
• Custom sizes, so pieces fit your rooms or your market’s standard dimensions.
• Low minimum orders; many brands sell from a single piece, so you can test a range before committing to volume.
• Mixed orders across categories, so furniture, lighting and textiles can be planned together.

Prices, minimum orders, lead times and payment terms are confirmed directly by each brand, so ask them for details based on your quantities.

How to plan a furniture buying day

A clear plan turns a day at ADC into a usable shortlist. Here is a simple structure:

• Before you go: list your categories, target styles, quantities and timing. Bring photos of pieces you like and the room sizes for any project.
• Morning: start in Phase II on the floors that match your style, and note the brands you want to revisit.
• Lunch: the rooftop food street on the sixth floor of Phase III.
• Afternoon: visit Phase III for lighting and textiles to complete the room, then the Custom Design Hall or Phase I design brand floors for statement pieces.
• Late afternoon: return to your shortlisted brands to discuss customisation, samples and next steps.

Send us your arrival day and the furniture categories you need on WhatsApp, and we will suggest which floors and brands to see first. Our team can also help with translation during your visit.

What to check before you order

Seeing furniture in person is the biggest advantage of a showroom visit. Use the time to check:

• Materials and finish: wood species, veneers, fabrics, outdoor-grade metals and coatings.
• Construction: joints, frames, cushions and hardware, especially for commercial use.
• Customisation: which sizes, colours and fabrics can change, and how that affects lead time.
• Packaging and shipping: how pieces are packed for export, and whether the brand ships overseas.
• Samples: whether a sample or a single piece can be ordered first.

Where to start, by buyer type

Different buyers get the most from different parts of ADC. Use this as a starting point:

Furniture dealers and retailers

Start with the Creative Design Park on Phase II floors 8–9 and the original-design brands, where you can find collections that are not already in every store in your market. Low minimum orders make it practical to test a few pieces before adding a full range. Then compare price positions on the lower floors before you decide.

Interior designers

Designers usually need variety and flexibility more than volume. The Eastern Aesthetics floors (4–6) and the design brand showrooms in Phase I are good for statement pieces, while the Custom Design Hall is the place to discuss made-to-order items, finishes and sizes for a specific client.

Hotel, villa and project buyers

Project buyers need consistency across many rooms and commercial durability. Focus on brands offering contract-grade ranges and custom sizes, and include outdoor furniture early if the project has terraces, pools or gardens. Bring room counts, floor plans and finish preferences so brands can respond with realistic options.

Furnishing a complete room in one visit

One of the practical advantages of ADC is that furniture is only part of what is under one roof. After you choose the main pieces, you can complete the room in the same building:

• Lighting on Phase III floors 3–5, from decorative pieces to smart lighting.
• Home textiles and rugs on the same Phase III floors: fabrics, curtains, carpets and rugs, many in custom sizes.
• Home accents and art in Phase I for the finishing layer.

Planning these categories together helps you match colours and materials before you order, instead of sourcing them separately and hoping they work side by side.
