Nathan 50's Furniture Catalogue

Nathan furniture comes up regularly in auctions and on ebay, some of the later pieces have fallen out of favour a little, notably the 70's/80's squared door pieces and the numerous highboards and shelving units.

Some of their items though, the 'Circles' sideboard for example, are absolute classics, and take a look at this catalogue, proving that Nathan were once pretty forward thinking, especially in the areas of sideboard and leg design. These designs obviously owe something to G-Plans ebonised legged Tola range, but lovely nonetheless.

Dating from the late 1950's, possibly early 1960's, the colours and drawings have aged particularly well, if it helps you identify a particular piece, all the better.

Sierra by G-Plan

As a regular stockist of G Plan furniture we were excited to come across these wall units from their Sierra range.
The Sierra style was something of a throwback for G-Plan after their flirtation with Danish style in the 1960's. Bridging the gap between Kofod-Larsen and the 1970's Fresco range, Sierra has, if anything, more of the 1950's Brandon style to it, on the handles and the pale colouring for example.
This rare cabinet breaks down into four separate pieces, two base units and two sets of shelves, one with glass cabinet doors and one with a drop down bureau.

The green backing is interesting, something G-Plan never repeated, but actually very contemporary in the right setting.

We don't see a huge amount of Sierra, certainly nothing compared to Fresco for example, perhaps Sierra wasn't a great seller?
