Spotlight on: Gplan


First post in what i hope will be an regular series on some of my favorite pieces i have in stock. First up is this Gplan corner unit. What i love about it is that it looks like a standard corner unit but its really a writing desk! 

Both of the above pictures are from this brilliant resource Real useful when it comes to identifying gplan models
This corner unit or "G-Plan corner secretaire" is from the first G plan range produced by E Gomme Ltd.  The range called Brandon, was produced to enable the British public to buy piece by piece (as lines were available for many years) instead of buying a whole suite as was the norm. Pieces were available in light oak and a mid-oak. I love the simplicity of the Brandon range and would go as far as saying its my favorite of all!
Heres a couple of shots of the corner unit "in situ" at the emporium. 


The all important g-plan mark. This mark was used 1952- 1965
