Coricraft Group specializes in the design and manufacturing of furniture, primarily focusing on hand-crafted couches and dining sets. Founded in 1995 in Cape Town, South Africa, Coricraft was fully acquired by The Foschini Group on March 7, 2022, for ZAR 2. 35 billion, allowing for expanded local manufacturing capabilities.

The CEO, Craig Schneeberger, leads the company as it continues to operate in the South African market and beyond, bolstered by its recent acquisition which has facilitated further growth. Coricraft specializes in the design and manufacturing of high-quality furniture, focusing on hand-crafted couches and dining sets. Their offerings include various couch types such as the Amalfi 2 Seater, Corner Couch, and Middle Couch, available in fabric and genuine leather. Each piece combines comfort and aesthetic appeal, tailored for residential use, targeting homeowners looking for durable furnishings made in South Africa, while also exporting to international markets.

Coricraft operates on a direct-to-consumer sales model through online and physical retail locations. Revenue is generated through retail transactions, including flagship items like the Amalfi Couch range, priced to appeal to a broad audience. Promotional discounts, such as a 10% welcome offer for first-time buyers, support initial purchases, creating a seamless customer experience. Following the acquisition by The Foschini Group, Coricraft plans to leverage its new resources to expand its product line and enhance manufacturing capabilities.

Additionally, the company is targeting expansion into new markets, particularly in Africa and select international regions, by 2025. The recent funding from the ZAR 2. 35 billion acquisition will be utilized to support these initiatives, allowing Coricraft to innovate new products and strengthen its market presence.
