COR

Design that sits well

COR Sitzmöbel stands for interior design culture, aesthetic appeal and excellent seating comfort. The premium brand has been owner managed since it was established in 1954. It manufactures excellent quality seating and upholstered furniture for international markets at its production facility in Rheda-Wiedenbrück. The classic sofa Conseta is the company’s most famous product. It has been in the COR product portfolio since 1964. All the people who contribute to shaping the brand are passionate about incorporating values and quality in contemporary design without being inhibited by fashions and trends. Immaculate workmanship and excellent quality of material are the hallmarks of COR furniture. COR has already received more than 60 corporate and product awards, including the German Design Award, the Iconic Award and the Federal Republic of Germany’s Design Prize for its outstanding design and business performance. All the upholstered furniture products have the Blue Angel eco-label seal of approval and the Greenguard Gold certificate. The company operates according to lean factory principles, has around 234 employees and trains young talents itself. The site has been climate-neutral through offsetting since 2020.

HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS

COR is the Latin word for heart. The three hearts in the family coat of arms of the aristocratic co-founder were the inspiration for our name – a lucky coincidence because we have realised over the years just how much the heart has to do with COR, apart from the name. Furnishing is a matter close to the heart, at once emotional and subjective. And that is not only the case because tastes vary and therefore all kinds of furniture styles exist, but also because furniture is an expression of each person’s individuality.

Since 1954 we have been building furniture which lends expression to this individuality. With designer pieces which are progressive in their design and now adorn rooms all over the world. At the same time, they are absolutely conservative when it comes to their quality and longevity. COR is still a family business which is managed today by Leo Lübke, the grand-son of the company founder. We continue to manufacture our furniture in our home town in East-Westphalia and – with the exception of a few supplied components – completely in-house. We buy our raw materials exclusively from suppliers who share our manufacturing philosophy: saw mills from the neighbouring Weserbergland, for example; tanneries that still source their materials from organic farms and fabric enthusiasts such as the southern German textile company whose fabrics also cover the seats of many exclusive airlines.

INNER VALUES - You can hardly see them at first glance. But when you take a second, third and umpteenth look, you feel them, value them and enjoy them profoundly: the inner values that we incorporate into every piece of furniture we make.
