Original 1950's First G-Plan Catalogue

We've come across a bit of G-plan history that we'd love to share, it's what seems to be the very first G-plan catalogue. 
E. Gomme had been making furniture in High Wycome for over 50 years before launching the revolutionary and hugely successful G-plan range in the early 1950's.
There is a great archive of Gomme history HERE but they don't seem to have this particular brochure. 
Of interest is that although the furniture featured here is of G-plans initial 'Brandon' range. Neither Brandon nor it's designer V.B. Wilkins is mentioned anywhere in the brochure, despite the archive clearly having the same items, even the same images advertised as Brandon. Logic would say that Gomme decided to brand the range AFTER this particular brochure was produced.
As the blurb in the brochure is introducing G-plan as an entirely new idea, it would make sense.
Here at Space Harrogate we generally have a dozen G-plan pieces in stock at any one time, including items from this range, I've linked a few Brandon pieces currently in stock towards the end.
                                  We hope this proves useful, enjoy......















And here's some examples you can buy today

  1. Design and print furniture catalog is a work that any business or interior design business need to invest because the biggest feature of the interior is the need for large space for display.

  3. Hi. I have the bedroom dressing table that is pictured behind the red label. I can just make out the corner of the dressing table as the rest of it is hidden behind the label. Do you have pictures of all the g plan dressing tables? My one is very rare and in perfect condition.
