G-Plan "Fresco" Triple Wardrobe in Figured Teak – Designed by Victor Wilkins, c.1968
A monolith of British Mid-Century Modern design. Designed by Victor Wilkins for G-Plan, this "Fresco" wardrobe is defined by its vibrant Teak veneers. The doors display G-Plan's obsession with grain selection—look for the "Cathedral" (arch-shaped) figuring that runs symmetrically across the front. The rich, honey-toned teak is contrasted by the darker, sculpted Afromosia handles, which are shaped to fit the hand perfectly.
Launched in 1966, the Fresco range brought the sleek, sculptural lines of Danish design to the British high street. This piece represents the "Golden Age" of E. Gomme, where mass production met genuine craftsmanship. It is a piece of Sustainable Heritage that has already outlasted the flat-pack era by half a century.
The Interior Stylist's Note: Vintage wardrobes bring a warmth that modern fitted cupboards simply cannot match. This piece works brilliantly in a master bedroom to soften the acoustics, or even in a generous hallway as dedicated coat storage. Pair it with other Fresco pieces (chest of drawers, bedside tables) for a cohesive 'hotel suite' aesthetic, or let it stand alone against a dark charcoal or sage green wall to make the teak pop.
Condition & Restoration: Professional vintage condition. The teak has been cleaned and oiled to nourish the wood. The structural integrity is excellent. Expect minor signs of historical use consistent with age, but the grain presentation is superb.
