Meet the Team. Part 1

Meet Toussaint Kidiamboko. Hailing from the DRC, Toussaint joined Vamp almost at the beginning of our adventure in August 2009. He is our sander extraodinaire and an integral part of Team Vamp. Mr T tries to teach me French and I help him here and there with his English - so far he has been waaaaaaaaay more successful than me with language mastery! 
Merci beaucoup Mr T!

A mid-century Frystark (SA) sideboard in Burma Teak from their 1960’s Dane range. There is a bit of a raised bump on the left side of the top of the sideboard, but is only visible from a certain angle and does not detract from the piece.

Makers label intact.
