It can be assumed that Wilkins was highly influenced by Kofod-Larsen’s designs as Wilkin’s pieces are often wrongly attributed to Kofod-Larsen. 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. In the early 1960s, British furniture manufacturer G-Plan set the standard for modernist, mass-market furniture in postwar Britain. It can be assumed, however, that he worked as an in-house designer for the British manufacturer for many years. Although all of Wilkins known works were produced by G-Plan, there is little biographical information available on the designer. Collapse Read Moreīritish furniture designer Victor Bramwell (V.B.)
