Notes

Frystark furniture is renowned for its beautiful shape and high-quality manufacturing which is strongly influenced by mid century modern Danish and European design.

In 1948 two brothers, Derek and Owen Frye, started their furniture manufacturing business. The business grew and in 1959 it acquired country-wide distribution through its merger with G H Starck Ltd of Cape Town and their furniture factory in Ndabeni. known as D & O Frye, Starck & Co. Ltd. - shortened for easy reference to the Frystark Group. Frystark was taken over by A.F.C.O.L (Associated Furniture Companies Limited) in 1968 which effectively ended the era of classic mid century modern Frystark furniture in favour of the more conservative Unita. ranges.https://visi.co.za/frystark-relaunches-in-south-africa/
