The Ultimate Guide to G Plan Furniture: History, Identification & Collecting

G Plan furniture is one of the most sought-after names in British Mid-Century furniture, beloved by collectors and interior designers for its timeless design, craftsmanship, and enduring appeal. At Evengrain, we see G Plan not just as furniture, but as curated vintage stories—timeless pieces that elevate any space and connect us with an era of bold, functional design.

Founded in 1898, E. Gomme Ltd. launched the G Plan range in 1953, revolutionising British interiors with modern, accessible design. G Plan’s ethos was rooted in quality craftsmanship, innovative materials, and a forward-thinking aesthetic that still feels fresh today. Their collections quickly became the benchmark for British Mid-Century furniture, blending form, function, and a dash of optimism.

Spotting genuine G Plan is an art. Look for the iconic red, gold, or black G Plan labels—often tucked inside drawers or on the back of cabinets. Authentic pieces are defined by solid wood construction, dovetail joints, and distinctive design features like sculpted handles and sleek lines. At Evengrain, we meticulously verify each G Plan piece for authenticity and quality before it joins our curated collection.

Some G Plan collections have reached cult status. The Fresco range, with its rich teak and organic curves, remains a favourite. The G Plan Highboard and G Plan Dining Table are icons in their own right—versatile, beautifully made, and always in demand. Explore our G Plan Highboard, G Plan Dining Table, and G Plan Sideboard to see these classics reimagined in curated settings.

Preserving vintage G Plan is all about gentle care. We recommend dusting regularly with a soft cloth, occasional oiling with Danish oil, and avoiding harsh chemicals. Our restoration process at Evengrain uses eco-friendly products and traditional techniques to honour each piece’s heritage while refreshing its look for contemporary spaces.

G Plan’s legacy is stronger than ever. Collectors are drawn to its enduring style and robust build. With demand for British Mid-Century furniture on the rise, investing in G Plan is both a design statement and a smart financial move. Well-cared-for pieces often appreciate in value, making them a rewarding addition to any collection.
