What Coricraft Group Proprietary does

Coricraft Group Proprietary is a South African home furnishings and accessories retailer headquartered in Johannesburg, established in 1995 and operating as a wholly owned subsidiary of TFG (The Foschini Group). The company sells upholstered furniture, beds, mattresses, dining and outdoor furniture, and home décor (rugs, lighting, cushions, artwork, fragrances) through an omnichannel model that combines a network of physical retail stores across South Africa with a Shopify-powered e-commerce site at coricraft.co.za and WhatsApp-based customer support.

Its core technical and operational capability is in-house custom upholstery manufacturing, which underpins a made-to-order service allowing customers to specify size, material (fabric, leather, slipcover), and configuration of couches, chairs, and beds. A Modular Couch Builder tool on the website supports online configuration of custom seating. The product range is organized into named collections (Santorini, Breen, Rococo, Manhattan, Kirsty, Delphi, Cairo, Middleton, Benson, Luna, Congo, Sami and others) with fabric couches priced from R6,999 to R99,999 and décor accessories from R89.

Coricraft monetizes through one-time direct retail sales of physical goods, financed in part via integration with TFG Rewards and TFG Money credit offerings from its parent group. It targets South African homeowners and families seeking comprehensive, coordinated home furnishing solutions across living room, bedroom, dining, home office, and outdoor categories, with a secondary focus on space-constrained consumers who benefit from made-to-order sizing. The 2025 launch of Mattresses and Base Sets and a steady cadence of new collections indicate ongoing category and SKU expansion within the South African market.
