Introduce a striking piece of British design history with this mid-century Stag C-Range double wardrobe, masterfully designed by the legendary husband-and-wife duo John and Sylvia Reid in 1953.

Originally introduced as part of the influential 'Cumberland' suite, the C-Range pioneered a modular, architectural design philosophy built specifically for post-war British homes. Stripped of unnecessary ornamentation, this wardrobe focuses purely on proportion, clean lines, and exceptional functional utility.

Design & Features
Crafted in a beautifully grained pale honey oak veneer, this piece stands on iconic slim, tapered solid oak legs. The defining architectural highlight of the C-Range is its sleek, hardware-free facade—sacrificing traditional external handles for integrated, full-length recessed finger-pull lips seamlessly built into the solid timber door edges.

The dual front doors open to reveal an incredibly well-considered 'Gentleman’s' fitted interior layout designed to maximise space efficiently:

An integrated full-length internal dressing mirror
A generous upper shelf perfect for hats, knitwear, or storage boxes
Sturdy built-in clothes hanging rails

Whether positioned in a minimalist modern bedroom or a curated mid-century hallway space, this wardrobe offers timeless British modernism that balances a quiet character with everyday practicality.

Celebrating Unsung Design

Honouring mid-century pieces from skilled, often unnamed makers.

We believe great design isn’t limited to big names. Many of the most distinctive mid-century pieces were crafted by skilled makers whose stories are lost to time. We celebrate these unsung designs by restoring and presenting them with the same care as any iconic brand.

We bought a stunning wall unit from Evengrain for Ed’s birthday, and it’s truly transformed our living space. Every morning, we wake up and see it from bed—it brings us joy daily, and we absolutely love it."

“The McIntosh dining table from Evengrain now sits at the heart of my Margate design studio. It’s where we spread out projects, meet clients and spend most of our day.”

“We bought a Jentique bureau from Evengrain to use as a maître d’ station in our Folkestone restaurant, and it works perfectly. It’s practical, beautifully made and adds a calm, mid-century character to the entrance that guests always comment on.”
