Description

This vintage mid century teak sideboard on hairpin legs has great retro style and was designed and manufactured by G-Plan in the 1960s. The sideboard would make an ideal television unit, record or drinks cabinet. The two spacious double cupboards benefit from shelves which are height-adjustable and removeable.

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.

The photographs here are from our own picture library. Photographs of the actual sideboard that we have right now will follow shortly.
