Carrying items created by more than 80 award-winning designers around the world, including the famed Luca Nichetto, Richard Hutten and Claesson Koivsto Rune, Zaozuo is a furniture and homeware store located in Xingfu Li (Happiness Lane) on Panyu Lu.

Zao and zuo mean to create and to be creative, and the shop lives up to its name. Housed in a renovated

factory built in the 1960s, the spacious shop welcomes us with a swirl of colorful cage lights (RMB956 each) that extends up to the second floor, where you’ll find the main showroom. Arranged in layouts of mini living rooms, there’s a variety of sofas of different styles (starting from RMB1,059) paired with a diverse selection of colorful and comfy chairs, side tables and lamps, allowing you to mix and match your favorite colors to build a lovely home.

Cabinets along the wall see creative jars and fine tableware in vivid colors, while the other half of the space is decked out like an actual bedroom, with a bed, quilts, pillows, cushions and blankets thoughtfully presented and updated regularly.

If IKEA is too far away and crowded for you, Zaozuo may be a good (and more premium) alternative for those who want to add a dash of color and creativity to your home.
