The Fresco Astro Circular Coffee Table was designed by Victor Bramwell Wilkins for G-PLAN, a leading British mid-century brand.

This popular model is a masterpiece of G-PLAN, designed as part of the Fresco series living collection. It features curved legs that lift the table top from below. The glass embedded in the table top accentuates the legs, creating a comfortable unity between the frame and the table top. This is a compact center table that is easy to use in modern floor plans.

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 Fresco series was originally designed by Ib Kofod-Larsen and was later taken over by Wilkins and Victor Bramwell. The design has a strong Nordic feel, using teak wood, and it is still the most popular series that symbolizes G-PLAN today.

Jeep Plan G-PLAN
This furniture brand was launched in 1952 by Ebenezer Gomme, a company founded in 1898 in the town of High Wycombe in the UK. It was the first in the UK to embrace the Scandinavian furniture boom of the 1950s, and by the 1960s it had become so popular that it was said to be a symbol of London's urbanites. "G" stands for Gomme, and "PLAN" stands for planning, which means "planning your lifestyle." The product concept was a groundbreaking idea at the time, where people could enjoy creating a modern room in its entirety by purchasing individual items little by little. In 1987 the company was sold, and after many twists and turns, sofas are still manufactured by "G Plan Upholstery" in the west of England, and cabinets by "G Plan Cabinets" in Scotland.

He also designed many other furniture pieces for G-PLAN over a long period of time, leaving behind many excellent designs. He is still highly regarded today as one of the hidden great designers who supported G-PLAN's rapid growth.
