British furniture designer Victor Bramwell (V. B.) Wilkins is best known for his Fresco range for G-Plan.   In the early 1960s, British furniture manufacturer G-Plan set the standard for modernist furniture in post war Britain.   In order to compete with imported Scandinavian furniture, G-Plan hired Danish designer Ib Kofod Larsen (1921-2003) – who created a number of designs for the company. It can be assumed that Wilkins was highly influenced by Kofod Larsens designs as Wilkin’s pieces are often wrongly attributed to Kofod-Larsen.   
Riding on the coat tails of Kofod-Larsen’s success, Wilkns Fresco range also had strong Scandinavian influence. Designed in 1966 and launched the following year, the range, which was G-Plans most successful range. The design itself combined the sleek and sculptural aesthetic of Italian furniture with the definitive Scandinavian style that was so popular at the time.
