With its "Corever" scheme, the manufacturer recently introduced a take-back system for discarded COR furniture. "We welcome a further partner to our network whose aim is to promote the circular economy and reduce waste," says Frithjof Jönsson, bdia's national managing director.
COR has been producing durable upholstered furniture with high design standards for 70 years. Our products are an integral part of well thought-out interior design in both private and public spaces. As high-quality, sustainable interior design has a positive influence on the quality of life at home and at work, our collaboration with the bdia and the promotion of the profession of interior designer is particularly important to us," explains Stefan Kappel-Sudbrock, Head of Sales at COR.
