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.
