WG Evans & Sons Ltd / UK Vanson Mid-Century Teak Sideboard #36181

This is a vintage VANSON sideboard designed by Peter Hayward by WGE Vans & Sons, a British mid-century manufacturer.

This unique sideboard is a Danish-style arrangement made of teak wood. The design is a mix of playfulness and coolness, with a smooth frame that runs from the sides to the bottom and legs, and glossy carved handles. It has excellent storage capacity, and the back is processed to be able to be used as a partition, making it an undeniable feature and presence that can be used as the face of your living room.

After the war, modern Scandinavian design became very popular, and Scandinavian-style furniture began to be made in the UK as well. The UK's high level of technology and production capacity, which had a foundation in traditional furniture making, made it possible to produce high-quality furniture. Representative British manufacturers include G-PLAN, which was one of the first to adopt Danish design, and the long-established Scottish manufacturers AHMcIntosh and Nathan. There were also many other excellent Scandinavian-style furniture manufacturers. Scandinavian-style furniture made in the UK during the mid-century period is still highly regarded today for its quality and design that is comparable to authentic Scandinavian furniture, and has become increasingly popular in recent years.
