Description:
|
Page from 1965 G-Plan New Models folder showing Librenza unit (model no. 8888) redesigned to co-ordinate with the Brazilia range in teak.
|
|
Notes:
|
The basic Librenza layout of a cabinet with cupboard and drawers below an asymmetric arrangement of open shelves was retained but the underframe took on the, by then familiar, G-Plan form of an arched supporting stretcher rail between turned legs. The scoop-like wooden handles came from the 1964 Brazilia range. Dimensions had been changed to: width 48" (previously 37.5") and height 72" (previously 75.5"). Retail price £59 10s 0d.
