Originating from the Gfeller company of Switzerland in the early 70's, the combination of sleek, streamlined styling and solid hardwood with a pronounced grain make it a real pleasure to handle. The offset matt gold buttons and modern typeface work in complete harmony with the phones modern lines ... The Gfeller Trub achieved cult status in the late 1980s, especially in Britain with most now hidden away in private collections.
