Vintage G Plan Siesta Teak Shelf Unit by E Gomme

Designed by E Gomme for G Plan, as part of the Siesta range, you can see he was influenced by his Scandinavian contemporaries… clean lines, midcentury simplicity, form and function. Freestanding, multi-functional units, such as this smart, 1970s one, are really versatile as they negate the need for built-in shelves and provide plentiful storage and display space. Tall but shallow, this model features an open, upper bookcase where three of the four shelves are adjustable, and a lower, double door cupboard with a further shelf inside. It’s a two part, freestanding piece with the upper section simply sitting on the base. We love the original pale green back panel!

Description

This is an original, vintage piece that is ‘sold as seen’. It is in good – very good, used condition. We have thoroughly cleaned and polished this piece, applying a natural beeswax polish to the exterior wood surfaces. It’s a two part, freestanding piece where the upper section simply sits on the base. It’s perfectly stable and secure but we would recommend that the upper unit is secured to the wall for piece of mind. The upper section features four shelves, three of which are adjustable and one is fixed. The green back panel which shows though the shelves is in excellent order. There are some knocks and scuffs on the shelves’ edges and sides which we have shown across our photos. The lower cupboard features a further adjustable shelf inside and has a clean, tidy interior. The two doors swing with ease, have working closures and secure handles. There are also knocks and scuffs here primarily to the top surface – again, refer to our photos. Overall, the wear and tear is light and in line with what we might expect with a vintage piece of this age and nature. The unit is very well-made and the G Plan label can be seen inside the lower cupboard.
