New COR Catalogue 2021/22 – informative and inspiring

Online offerings are more popular than ever, but high-quality print products have also positioned themselves as valued sources of inspiration. They remain part of brand communication.

Design Originals - often imitated, never duplicated. We dedicate ourselves to the value of true design originals

The enthusiasm for a new design often only lasts until the next trend. Real design originals, on the other hand, are everlasting. But what distinguishes it? How do you recognize their authenticity?

COR Haus impressions

Let yourself be inspired by the new products for 2021. Take a seat on the Jalis21, which is close to the floor, get the Farmer Chair in the garden or use the extendable Delta table in many different ways.

FARMER - Refreshingly simple

With the re-edition of the "Farmer", COR is re-issuing a classic from the 1960s. Natural materials in high-quality workmanship pay tribute to the simply ingenious design of an evergreen for living with and in nature.
