“Following on from our success in last year’s awards, it’s great to be recognised again by Furniture News readers, and everyone at Core Products really appreciates the recognition,” comments director Stuart Wallace …
Since it was formed in 1986, Core has become one of the country’s leading suppliers of furniture designed for easy assembly – either in-store or home. Most of the supplier’s products are designed and developed by the business, which concentrates on the local market, ensuring the products’ styles, materials, finishes and, importantly, sizes, are uniquely tailored to the UK consumer.
Core Products’ portfolio is synonymous with pine furniture, which still forms a big part of the business’ sales – even more so with today’s greater emphasis on the use of natural and sustainable materials and manufacturing processes.
Corona remains a customer favourite, with ever-evolving styles and finishes keeping the design fresh and appealing. Core’s Corona features real dovetail drawers, a selling feature which puts it a cut above the rest – and as open-plan living has gained popularity, the addition of more casual dining pieces to the collection has further boosted its popularity.
The on-trend, modern-industrial styling of the Augusta and Texas pine ranges, meanwhile, are ideal for small-space living, while the country pine look of Cotswold promises to appeal to more traditional tastes.
Painted furniture remains a popular consumer choice, says Core, as it so effortlessly blends with most decors. Contemporary furniture is also well catered for – Core’s Lido collection features a high-gloss white finish, and includes a collection of products which are ideal for modern starter homes where space is at such a premium.
Those seeking interesting pieces ideal for open-plan room styling and made from hardwearing, easy-to-clean finishes to withstand everyday family use, may also find Core’s contemporary and modern living collections appealing. Aspen offers a selection of compact dining pieces with tapered-edge dining tables and a selection of easy-to-clean plastic – or upholstered – dining chairs.
More traditional furniture designs are also well catered for in Core’s Highland Home collection, which features a variety of wood and painted finishes, all designed to be easy to build. Boston, finished in a dark lacquer with antique-effect metal drop handles, is a firm favourite.
Core Products’ dedicated trade website allows 24/7 access to the full portfolio of product information, pricing, stock availability and ordering, with delivery to the store or express delivery direct to the customer’s home.With such a wide variety of styles and finishes catered for, it is little surprise that Core Products is again the winner of this award.
