Modulus TL225 sideboard by Kho Liang Ie for Fristho, late 1950s in teak with white drawers
€ 4.850
The Modulus TL225 sideboard by Fristho was designed in the late 1950s by Kho Liang Ie and is executed in teak veneer with white lacquered drawer fronts and a black steel base. This combination results in a clear and restrained composition that marks the transition from Scandinavian-oriented design to an international modern idiom.
The sideboard was designed by Kho Liang Ie for Fristho Meubelfabriek in Franeker and forms part of the Modulus series, which builds on ideas developed earlier in the Modernart series by William Watting. In this period, Kho Liang Ie is described as artistic director and designer at Fristho, responsible for the progressive design direction of the late 1950s, including the Modulus series. The series was presented exclusively by Arflex Milano in 1959 and is regarded as one of the most innovative lines within the Fristho collection. Teak doors alternate with white fronts, while the refined black steel V-shaped base allows the volume to appear visually light. The sideboard is marked with the original Fristho logo designed by Wim Crouwel and the designation “Modulus”. Dimensions: 225 × 43 × 76 cm / 88.6 × 16.9 × 29.9 in (W×D×H).

The condition of this sideboard is very good. The teak veneer shows minimal signs of use consistent with age and has a warm, even tone. The black steel base retains the original triangle perspex feet.
