G-Plan




This is a piece of G-Plan furniture I found at a flea market. The underside of the stool has the E. Gomme G-Plan logo which dates from the 1950s when the brand G-plan was established by Donald Gomme. Grandson of Ebeneezer Gomme (the companies founder) Donald recognised the need to market products direct to the consumer. In 1953 he established the brand G-Plan, a name that has evolved through the decades and become synonymous with quality and innovation. Many pieces of G-plan furniture are much sought after today and have become design icons
For me the stool is evocative of danish design in it's functionality and understated design detail. Beautiful simplicity!
