Hurry up, only 1 item left in stock.
A striking mid-century G Plan highboard in teak, combining generous storage with a refined, sculptural profile. The gently curved sides, open display shelf and asymmetric door-and-drawer arrangement give it a strong architectural presence, while the warm grain and soft sheen of the timber add depth and warmth to a room.
Tall, slim and space-efficient, this highboard offers a wide lower cabinet with double doors, a bank of three drawers to the right, an upper cupboard and an open display section with a fixed shelf. The elevated base and tapered legs keep the piece visually light while still providing substantial storage.
Crafted in teak veneer with solid teak details, showcasing a rich, even grain and classic mid-century tone. The integrated sculpted handles and stretcher base highlight the quality of the original design and manufacture.
Very good vintage condition with light, age-appropriate signs of use. Surfaces present well, with a consistent finish and no major marks or damage, retaining a pleasing, well-cared-for patina.
Ideal as a living room or dining room statement piece, offering storage for glassware, tableware, records or books, with the open section perfect for displaying objects, plants or art. It also works well as a feature storage unit in a hallway or studio.
Designed and produced by G Plan, one of Britain’s leading mid-century furniture makers, known for their high-quality construction, thoughtful detailing and timeless modernist silhouettes.

Pioneers of British Modern Living
G Plan is synonymous with the rise of modern British interiors. Established in the early 1950s, G Plan transformed postwar homes with accessible, well-crafted furniture that blended contemporary style with everyday practicality. Their story is one of innovation, adaptability, and enduring influence—defining a new era of comfort and design for generations.
G Plan was launched in 1953 by E. Gomme Ltd., a family-run furniture maker based in High Wycombe, England.
In a landscape dominated by traditional suites, G Plan introduced modular designs inspired by Scandinavian modernism. Their early collections offered flexibility and affordability, allowing customers to build their interiors piece by piece—a revolutionary concept at the time.
Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, G Plan became a household name
Thanks to bold advertising, accessible pricing, and a commitment to quality. The brand collaborated with leading designers, most notably Ib Kofod-Larsen, whose Danish-influenced pieces brought a new elegance to British homes. G Plan’s use of rich teak, afromosia, and rosewood veneers, combined with sleek lines and subtle detailing, set a new benchmark for mid-century style.
Rooted in the optimism of the postwar era, G Plan quickly became known for responding to the evolving tastes of British households.
Throughout the 1970s, G Plan introduced celebrated ranges like “Fresco” and “Quadrille,” recognised for their sculptural handles and confident, modern forms. Creative marketing initiatives, such as the influential “G Plan Room” exhibitions, helped the brand define the look of contemporary interiors and cemented their reputation as pioneers in British furniture design.
G Plan pieces are now highly collectible, prized for their craftsmanship, versatility, and timeless appeal.
By the late 20th century, G Plan faced increased competition and evolving consumer preferences. However, their legacy remains strong: vintage G Plan pieces are now highly collectible, prized for their craftsmanship, versatility, and timeless appeal. The brand continues today, with new collections inspired by their mid-century heritage, and their classic designs remain a cornerstone of British interiors.
