G-PLAN (Ebenezer Gomme) / UK Danish Narrow Bookshelf #30979

This is the Danish Series Narrow Bookshelf designed by Ib Kofod-Larsen for G-PLAN, a brand representative of the British mid-century period.

A slim bookshelf perfect for displaying small paperbacks and small collections. Its compact size makes it easy to use in modern floor plans, and the design of the high-quality machined handles adds an accent. This is a rare model among the Danish series, which is in short supply.

In the 1960s, when genuine Scandinavian furniture started to enter the British market, G-Plan felt a sense of crisis and invited Danish designer Ib Kofod-Larsen to develop the Danish furniture series, which was born in Britain. This furniture series uses teak, which was the symbol of Danish furniture at the time, and has a strong craft feel, with a focus on design and quality. The meticulous quality of the series made it very expensive, so there was very little distribution, making it a rare G-Plan series that is rarely seen on the market.

The design has details in common with the circular table designed as part of the Fresco series living collection. It is a long table called a long john table that goes well with a three-seater sofa. It is a highly practical table with a glass top in the center and a rack underneath that doubles as a display and storage space.
