This year, Design Joburg Collective is excited to feature Coricroft’s Essentials collection, which offers a range of furniture boasting contemporary design, and has been carefully curated for a mindful and minimal spatial setup.
It’s all part of the global micro-living trend: a move towards small yet cleverly designed spaces (like lofts and mini-apartments). In these homes, storage is situated behind sliding doors with a capsule-wardrobe-inspired sense of style.
This range reimagines the way we consider the interior design and tailors furniture that caters to young professionals, who are starting out their road to success – including the more established market, who are perhaps scaling down or looking for a more modern take on their homes.
The result has bolstered the need for simple, functional pieces that will fit into a smaller space and The Essentials collection fits the bill.

HERTEX
Hertex started out as a passion project that now houses an empire of fabrics, wall coverings, and exquisite qualities that evoke an immediate sense of luxury, and their latest Jacquard collection is no exception.
Jacquard takes authentic design principles to new levels of design. A fantastic homeware aesthetic that brings complex patterns woven into the fabric itself, rather than using printed, dyed, or embroidered elements.
Hertex recently launched a new Jacquard collection entitled ‘Mombasa’ – a great addition for scatters and upholstery that ticks all the texture, pattern and versatility boxes.
The palette mixes elegant earth tones with ethnic designs that complete a collection drawn from the roots and innovation, that is literally out of Africa.
Mombasa recalls the textured flat-woven fabric collections that were all the rage in the ‘80s but updated here for contemporary living. With chunky weaves making a comeback, we were thrilled to see the collection boasting these weightier textures.
Mombasa most certainly ticks the usability box, hosting a diverse range of fabric and wallpaper collections for customers to delve into and pick out their favourite pieces for their interiors.
