About Us
Established in 1979, Ginger Jar Furniture is the North Shore’s Largest Furniture Store of Modern European Indoor and Outdoor Furniture and Home Decor.
We Choose Specialists, Not Generalists.
We’ve done the searching and brought together furniture brands that we believe are worth knowing. That’s why we’ve built exclusive partnerships with specific brands that bring deep expertise to a particular category, whether its dining, lounging, reclining, sofabedding or outdoor living. Each brand focusses on the design, comfort, function, and craftsmanship they know best. We bring those specialists together under one roof at 388 Lynn Avenue, North Vancouver, giving you access to a thoughtfully considered collection of furniture designed to perform beautifully in its intended role.
Come explore our dedicated Stressless, American Leather, Conform, Calligaris and Gamma Arredamenti galleries that highlight each brand’s signature collections and new additions.
Rooted on the North Shore. Inspired by Europe.
We have been proudly serving the Lower Mainlaind and beyond since 1979. What began as a local furniture destination has grown into a thoughtfully curated collection of European design, bringing together pieces that balance style, comfort and function. Today, we remain proudly North Shore–based, with the same commitment to quality, personal service and helping you find furniture that feels right for your home.

From Humble Beginnings: Offering More than Furniture Since 1979
Like many immigrants from Taiwan and Hong Kong, Clarinda Kung and Peter Tai started their entrepreneurial careers by running a grocery store in North Vancouver. The food business was incredibly competitive, but Clarinda and Peter soon found a demand for Oriental items and began importing products like bamboo blinds, ceramic elephants, silk jackets, and namesake ginger jars.
They quickly expanded, opening stores in North Vancouver and Richmond to meet the rising demand for wicker and rattan furniture.
When furniture styles changed, Ginger Jar began importing outdoor furniture and Italian leather furniture, eventually offering today’s curated collection of modern and contemporary European, American and Canadian brands. The owners pride themselves in offering furniture and décor which are unique, impeccably crafted and a bit eclectic.
We are Proud to be a Local, Family Owned and Operated Company.
