This item is from the Fresco range. The piece has a self coloured base and has been mounted on gold coloured hairpin legs added. It includes four shelves. The top shelves are behind glass sliding doors. Perfect for glasses and ornaments. The glass door have an indented round groove which act as a handle. The below shelves are open.

The piece would have been made in the 1960s when G plan almost exclusively used teak veneer. The patina of the veneer is gorgeous and it shows very little wear and tear considering its age.

”Introduced back in 1966, the Fresco range grew to become the G Plan’s wildest success. To create the Fresco design classics, G Plan used the omnipresent motif of the circle to marry the trendy sculptural look characteristic for Italian furniture with already famous Scandinavian style teak. Fresco, was a new G-Plan teak range with sculptural style emphasising curves rather than straight lines. It was G-Plan’s most successful range and remained in production for many years. .With over 2000 employees, G Plan continued to operate under the Gomme family until 1987 when they sold the company to the board of directors. The following years brought significant downsizing, but the production never stopped. Today G Plan operates as part of Sofa Brands International, a holding company that also acquired Parker Knoll and Duresta. The legacy lives on as G Plan is still in the business of creating outstanding sofas and chairs.”
