Frystark furniture is renowned for its beautiful shape and high-quality manufacturing with a strongly influenced by Mid-Century Modern Danish and European design.
“In 1948 two brothers, Derek & Owen Frye, started their furniture manufacturing business. The business grew and in 1959 it acquired country-wide distribution through its merger with G.H. Starck Itd. of Cape Town and their furniture factory in Ndabeni. Known as D and O Frye, Starck & co. Ltd. - shortened for easy reference to the Frystark Group. Frystark was taken over by A.F.C.O.L (Associated Furniture Companies Limited) in 1968 which effectively ended the era of classic Mid-Century Modern Frystark furniture in favor of the more conservative Unita ranges."
