By the way: There was no official name for this popular design of victor wilkins for g plan, but as they are related in design to the "astro tables", this is the internal name that was assigned to them. British furniture designer victor bramwell (v.b.) wilkins is best known for its fresco range for g-plan. Although all of wilkins' work was produced by g-plan, little biographical information is available on this designer. However, one can assume that he worked as an in-house designer for the british manufacturer for many years. In the 1960s, the british furniture manufacturer g-plan set the standard for consumer modernist furniture in the post-war uk. In order to compete with imported scandinavian furniture, g-plan hired designer ib kofod-larsen (1921-2003), who created several designs for the company. It is assumed that wilkins was strongly influenced by kofod-larsen's creations, his pieces often attributed in error to kofod-larsen.
