Notes
Frystark was a local manufacturer during the 1960s that produced high quality furniture based on Danish designs.
The Status sideboards can be used as room dividers as they look as good from the back as they do from the front. This example uses book-matched veneer, a decorative wood veneer technique where adjacent veneer sheets are opened like the pages of a book creating a mirror-image effect with symmetrical grain patterns.
