Vintage 1970s G Plan Siesta Teak Shelf Unit With Glass Bookcase

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 a locking, glass door bookcase where the three shelves are adjustable with a further open shelf below; and a lower, double door cupboard with another 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, adding a subtle pop of colour.

Description

This is an original, vintage piece that is ‘sold as seen’. It is in good, used condition. We have checked, cleaned and polished this piece inside and out, 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 base unit with brackets for piece of mind. The upper section features a glass door bookcase with three adjustable shelves inside. There is a further open, adjustable shelf that sits below the bookcase. The top section is in very good order. The bookcase comes with a working lock and key and is clean and tidy inside. All shelves are in good order with just light signs of wear. The lower cupboard has an adjustable shelf inside and again, a clean interior. The exterior wood is a little knocked here and there. On the cupboard top there was a small area of damage which we have filled and repaired – please see our photo. One of the handles had been poorly repaired too which we have remedied with a clean, almost unnoticeable fix. All doors, closures and hinges are in good, working order. Overall there are light knocks and scuffs but the wear and tear is minor and in line with what we might expect with a vintage piece of this nature. The unit is well-made and the G Plan label can be seen inside the lower cupboard. Do browse our photos for a good sense of its condition. Any queries, please do get in touch.
