Pre-owned COR furniture

HFOC is Australia's premier marketplace for pre-owned designer furniture, and we frequently list authentic second-hand COR pieces. Browse sofas, armchairs, dining chairs and tables from the German maker of fine upholstered seating, including the Kelp and Trinus ranges. Each piece is priced well below buying new.

About COR

Helmut Lübke founded COR in 1954 together with the Prince of Bentheim-Tecklenburg. The name is the Latin word for heart, inspired by the three hearts in the prince's coat of arms. The prince withdrew in the 1980s, and the company has since been owned and managed by the family. It is based in Rheda-Wiedenbrück, in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

COR makes designer sofas, armchairs and seating systems, and its stated aim is 'design that endures'. Every component is assembled and inspected in Rheda-Wiedenbrück, using leather mainly from southern Germany and some upholstery fabrics from Italy. Its 230 employees have an average length of service of 16 years, which says a good deal about the people who build the furniture. The company also refurbishes existing pieces, renewing covers or replacing padding.

Why buy COR second-hand? Furniture built for longevity and designed to be refurbished is well suited to a second owner. Buying through HFOC gets you that quality at a price well below retail. Delivery is available across all Australian metros.
