About

Design Concepts is a supplier, retailer and wholesaler of premium outdoor furniture. Simple, contemporary and elegant, our collections are designed in-house or by our suppliers’ design teams, and manufactured by skilled craftsmen to ensure they are of the highest quality. 

Our collections cover furniture as well as outdoor sun umbrellas and shade solutions, accessories like outdoor cushions, infrared heaters for the patio and beautiful outdoor fire pits and fires that burn biofuel so they can be used indoors too.

Our aim from the outset was to curate collections of beautiful outdoor furniture for all New Zealanders – providing high-quality furniture that rivals that of design stores, but without the high price tag. It is our belief that quality doesn’t have to be synonymous with a huge cost. While quality does cost more, it doesn’t need to be out of reach.

Design Concepts was formed in 2015 as a result of what seemed to be a large disconnect in the New Zealand outdoor furniture market between the major chain stores selling what we saw as throwaway items – those that are designed for the moment but don’t last – and the expensive, high-end design stores. 

With that in mind, we set out to create Design Concepts and provide a new take on quality outdoor furniture for New Zealanders – and we’ve made it even easier with NZ-wide shipping so you can buy quality outdoor furniture online.

Testimonials

After shopping around for Outdoor Furniture, and going to all the shops Auckland, we were about to give up as nothing had wow factor unless it was going to cost a fortune. Lastly we went to the closest shop to home which was Design Concepts after seeing a sign at the end of the road. The store looked great, the furniture and quality looked better than most, and the prices were honest and fair, not extortionate. Then we met Richard who had a wealth of knowledge, was extremely helpful and just answered questions more than do the sales speech. We are more than happy with the furniture and the service and I have no problem recommending Design Concepts store to others, Richard will look after you.

We weren’t even looking for Outdoor Furniture, but drove past the store so thought we would go in and have a look. We were instantly impressed. The only other shop we had been to was painfully expensive which put us off. We found Richard to be really helpful and knowledgeable, and his willingness to help didn’t go un noticed. We decided to purchase a sofa setting, then called back and asked if we could change our minds, again, no issue. What we ended up with was the new White aluminium setting and it has completely transformed our Outdoor area. Worth every dollar spent. So I went back to buy an umbrella. 

John and Rebecca

We were sitting on the beach on loungers while on holiday in Fiji, and we thought about how nice it was to have good outdoor furniture, something we didn’t have at home in NZ, so went shopping online while slurping mojito's. We found Design Concepts online and instantly fell in love with a setting that looked like it was more of an indoor sofa, and seemed very reasonably priced, so hit buy now. When we got home, the setting turned up the next day! Outstanding service. And what prompted us to write this was that the quality and comfort of the furniture is impossible to see on a photo, but take our word for it, we were and still are highly impressed, so bought more from Richard who has been lovely and easy to deal with

Jane and Mike

We thought we had to do a quick rave about Design Concepts and Richard as it’s not often you get to deal with someone that knows and understand their products inside out, and thats doesn’t charge a fortune for the furniture. We went to a BBQ at a neighbours house, who had this amazingly cool looking and really comfortable Outdoor setting, so we asked questions, they mentioned Design Concepts and how impressed they were, so we looked online the next day. We called Richard who was super helpful with any questions we had, so we bought it, and he even delivered it and set it up, and took all the packaging away. Great company.

Andrew and Jane 

Great products, great company, excellent service, good quality and decent prices. What more needs to be said. My wife and I were wrapped with what we bought and all I can say to prospective customers, is the furniture looks much better at home than in a showroom! We would happily deal with Richard first before going elsewhere in future. Why shop around.

 I bought an umbrella from Design Concepts because they had clear prices including shipping, and there was no hidden extras. All companies say they have great quality so it is a risk buying online, but the umbrella turned up, and two neighbours have also bought from Design Concepts as for the price, these are an amazingly great product. A+ from me.
