G-PLAN (Ebenezer Gomme) / UK G-PLAN Fresco Highboard 4074 #34217

This is the Fresco Sideboard 4074, designed by Victor Bramwell Wilkins for G-PLAN, a brand that is emblematic of mid-century Britain.

It has a large-capacity storage space on the bottom, a shelf with sliding doors on the top that can be changed according to the situation, and a bureau that can be opened to turn into a compact study desk, making it suitable for a variety of uses, such as a cupboard, study desk, decorative shelf in the living room, or even as an all-in-one piece of furniture for single living. This sideboard has a highly practical design that is unique to the UK, where housing conditions are similar to those in Japan.

The Fresco series is said to be the best-selling series of G-PLAN, which took the world by storm in the UK about 50 years ago. Following the Danish series of 1960, the original design was created by Ib Kofod-Larsen and has a strong Nordic feel, using teak wood. It is still the most popular series that symbolizes G-PLAN today.

The design has details in common with the circular table designed as part of the Fresco series living collection. It is a long table called a long john table that goes well with a three-seater sofa. It is a highly practical table with a glass top in the center and a rack underneath that doubles as a display and storage space.
