18. Coricraft’s Essentials Collection is a budget-friendly decor solution

Coricraft’s new Essentials Collection offers a curated starting point for homeowners: simply mix and match these contemporary yet classic furniture staples for a chic, effortless space.

Taking its cue from the current, seemingly universal, live-more-in-less-space moment, local furniture and homeware brand Coricraft has created a fresh and accessible range of furniture that can be seamlessly mixed with your existing decor, or used as a base for creating a new dream space. Each of these sleek, simple pieces has been designed for maximum functionality and space-saving in urban living.

The Coricraft Essentials collection offers a set of furniture pieces that work together as a unit but needn’t be bought all at once, giving buyers the option to build up their collection when it is convenient and affordable for them to do so.

“We carefully considered the manner in which most consumers live today – in pared-back or smaller spaces – and created a collection of simpler, stylish pieces that slot seamlessly into smaller or clutter-free homes,” says Coricraft creative director Cara Harmse. “The pieces can be dressed up or down with ease. We plan to grow the collection seasonally with the latest furniture items and accessories to complement them.”

Ranging from stylish powder-coated metal beds to six-seater dining tables with tuck-in benches, each piece in this considered range is pared-back and contemporary yet aesthetically versatile – and, in Cara’s words, very much “curated with modern living in mind”. coricraft.co.za
