Product description
Vintage A. Younger “Sequence” Teak Highboard | 1960s | Designed By John Herbert
A truly stunning mid-century modern “Sequence” highboard by A. Younger Ltd, designed by renowned British designer John Herbert in the 1960s. An exceptional piece of British mid-century furniture, combining beautifully warm teak, sculptural detailing and an ingenious combination of display, storage and concealed functionality.
The rich teak veneer is beautifully complemented by solid teak sculpted edges, creating a wonderfully refined and tactile finish. The design is full of thoughtful details and elegant proportions, making this much more than a conventional highboard — it is a genuine statement piece.
The left-hand section features an open shelving area with an adjustable shelf, perfect for displaying books, ceramics, glassware or favourite decorative objects. Beneath this is a bank of four shallow drawers, offering practical storage for smaller items.
On the right is a wonderfully versatile drop-front cabinet, traditionally ideal as a cocktail or drinks-serving area, but equally useful as a writing surface or compact home-working space. Below is a generous double-door cupboard, providing excellent concealed storage.
The entire piece is beautifully raised on classic tapered mid-century wooden legs, giving the substantial highboard an elegant and surprisingly light appearance.
About A. Younger & John Herbert
A. Younger Ltd was one of Britain's important furniture manufacturers during the post-war period and became particularly well known for its innovative mid-century designs and quality furniture. The company embraced the modernist aesthetic of the 1950s and 1960s, combining traditional British craftsmanship with contemporary design influences.
Designer John Herbert was responsible for a number of distinctive designs for A. Younger, including the celebrated “Sequence” range. His designs are recognised for their clean architectural lines, clever storage solutions and beautifully integrated timber detailing.
The “Sequence” collection perfectly captures the era's growing appreciation for Scandinavian and Danish modernism, while retaining a distinctly British character.
A Remarkable Design Piece
This highboard is an exceptional example of 1960s British mid-century modern design, offering a superb combination of display shelving, drawers, concealed storage and the highly desirable drop-front cocktail/writing compartment.
Lovingly cared for, with minor signs of age that add to its authentic vintage appeal.
