Vintage 1970s G Plan Form Five Teak Shelf Unit with Desk

The appeal of Roger Bennett’s ‘Form Five’ range for G Plan endures 50-60 years on. Designed in the late 1960s, Form Five furniture was produced into the seventies. The overall design was minimalist with clean lines and flat, unfussy surfaces, very much leaning into the Scandinavian midcentury aesthetic. In this particular two-part set-up, the upper section features a cupboard, discreet drawers and open display shelves. This sits on a deeper desk base with a further sectioned drawer and room for a chair to slot underneath. You could use this as a work station / desk but it could also be used as a vanity stand in the bedroom. These tall-freestanding units negate the need for fixed, built-in shelves and give you hidden storage and display space in one piece. Their height makes them great for small rooms where wall width is lacking… if you can’t go wide, go up.

Description

This is an original, vintage piece that is ‘sold as seen’. It is in good – very good, used condition. We have checked, cleaned and polished this piece, applying a natural beeswax polish to the exterior wood surfaces but otherwise the finish is original. It’s a two part, freestanding piece where the upper section simply sits on the base, however for peace of mind we would recommend that the upper unit be secured to the base section. Plates are supplied for this purpose. The upper section features one adjustable shelf, one fixed shelf, a double door top cupboard and two small drawers. Closures, hinges and interiors are all in very good order. The base desk unit features a sectioned drawer with one half baize lined. The brass handle is original and securely attached. The drawer slides easily and also has a clean interior. The G Plan red logos can be seen on both the upper and base sections. Do browse our photos for an accurate sense of the condition of this piece. If you’ve questions or would like to view this item, do get in touch.
