Beautiful teak wood and the superb hand craftsmanship of G Plan’s master craftsmen make this unit a stunning example of a design classic at it’s best.  This highboard is in mint condition with very little strace of use. It has undergone preservation process and was treated with teak wood oils. 
 
British furniture designer Victor Bramwell (V.B.) Wilkins is best known for his Fresco range for G-Plan. Although all of Wilkins known works were produced by G-Plan, there is little biographical information available on the designer. It can be assumed, however, that he worked as an in-house designer for the British manufacturer for many years.
It is believed that Wilkins continued to design for G-Plan until the mid-1970s, though details of his life outside the manufacturer are unknown. Today, the Astro coffee table is among Wilkins’ most collectable design; with the more plentiful - but equally elegant - vintage Fresco cabinets and sideboards also in demand.
