Description
This vintage mid century teak sideboard on hairpin legs has great retro style and was designed and manufactured by G-Plan in the 1970s. The sideboard would make an ideal television unit, record or drinks cabinet. The drawer space has a divider in place that splits it in two and the two spacious double cupboards below offer lots of storage space within a compact footprint.
Although most of the British public reverted to traditional tastes after the war, there was a small but growing market for high-quality, modernist furniture, and G-Plan successfully spoke to this younger, more progressive audience. Through clever marketing campaigns, G-Plan set the standard for modernist, mass-market furniture in post-war Britain.
By the 1960s, the Scandinavian look was sweeping international design, and British-made furniture was being outsold by Danish imports. To compete, G-Plan brought in Danish designer Ib Kofod-Larsen (1921-2003) to create new collections in fine woods, like teak and rosewood.
