About the Item
A long off white melamine painted sideboard with cherry wood interior.
A Younger Ltd was a high quality British furniture manufacturer that led style and contemporary taste in the 50s, 60s and 70s. Younger furniture was low volume, well made and aimed at the top end of the market. Younger was amongst the first firms to make Scandinavian style furniture in the fifties and one of the first manufacturers to abandon the style in search of something more original in the late sixties.
Younger's top designer was John Herbert, who won three awards from the Furniture Makers' Guild in the 1960s.
By 1967, teak was so popular that John Nickson, Managing Director of A Younger Ltd, commented "instead of finding it difficult to purchase a teak dining set - as it was twelve years ago - the problem now is to find anything else!"
Younger was ready for a radical departure. John Herbert and his assistant, Alan Pledge, spent a few weeks locked away in Herbert's home in Kent thinking up new ideas.
Younger offered an entirely different look by using coloured veneers. They offered red, green or black stains, all transparent so that the grain pattern of the wood showed through. As well as these finishes, there was also a white melamine, painted finish.
Younger's furniture from this period was seen in some of the most fashionable London homes.
There was a small Younger unit in the melamine finish in Cliff Brumby's living room in the 1971 Michael Caine film 'Get Carter'. Brumby's living room contained a roll call of design classics from the late sixties.
