Finding the balance between aesthetics and functionality is often a challenge in the modern office and home environment.
COR, a renowned German furniture company from Rheda-Wiedenbrück, masters this challenge with the Shrimp lounge chair, an iconic addition to any room concept.
In today’s blog, we want to show you why we love using the Shrimp in furnishing concepts and why it is one of our ‘office favourites’.
About COR – tradition meets innovation
COR is a German family business that was founded in 1954. The company specialises in the manufacture of high-quality upholstered furniture. Social responsibility, sustainability and the tradition of local craftsmanship mean a lot to COR.
At COR, every piece of furniture is still made by hand, combining traditional techniques with innovative designs. The result is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also durable and comfortable designs.
Here are a few insights into production at COR:
Shrimp by Jehs+Laub
The Shrimp combines elegant design with unrivalled seating comfort. Its striking shell shape and high-quality materials make this armchair an eye-catcher in any room. Designed by Jehs+Laub, the Shrimp reflects COR’s philosophy that functionality does not have to be at the expense of design. With its inviting, organic shape and optional upholstery available in a variety of fabrics and leathers, the Shrimp adapts to any environment and style.
The Shrimp armchair illustrates the artistic craftsmanship that is a priority at COR. The seat shell of the armchair is made from a single piece of wood. A production method that requires both precise workmanship and a deep understanding of the material. This technique guarantees that the ergonomic requirements of the design are precisely realised. The hand-crafted upholstery also contributes to the uniqueness of each piece while providing the necessary support.
New edition of the Shrimp – a classic in a new guise
In 2023, COR presented a revised version of the Shrimp lounge chair, designed by the well-known Stuttgart-based designers Jehs+Laub. While the iconic shape of the seat shell has been retained, the seat cushion and frame have been upgraded to make the armchair more modern and comfortable. The new, more voluminous seat cushion and the improved, rocking frame emphasise the lounge character of the design and offer modern seating comfort.
The Shrimp cocktail armchair – elegance in a compact format
In addition to the classic lounge chair, COR also offers the Shrimp cocktail chair. A smaller version, specially designed for smaller rooms.
Our special highlights:
- Versatility: The Shrimp is not only suitable for living rooms, but also ideal for lounges, waiting areas and executive offices.
- Comfort: The ergonomically shaped seat offers optimum comfort, which is further enhanced by the high-quality upholstery. Ideal for long working days or relaxing evenings.
- Style: Available in a wide range of colours and materials, the Shrimp allows for a personal touch that blends seamlessly into any interior.
- Craftsmanship: The unique seat shell and high-quality upholstery not only ensure a high-quality impression, but also its unique character.
