The Quadrille stool was designed by Roger Bennett for G-PLAN, a brand representative of British mid-century design.
The Quadrille series is a stool with distinctive legs, simple yet impressive in design. It can be combined with a classic dressing desk, used as an extra dining chair, or as an ottoman, and is versatile and easy to use. It is becoming difficult to obtain because it is so popular in the vintage market.
The G-PLAN Quadrille series, released in 1965, takes its name from the classic French square dance. Like the Fresco series, it has its roots in 1960s Danish design and is made of beautiful brown teak wood. It features barrel-shaped handles with beveled edges and beautiful legs with a gentle curve on the inside and a square shape on the outside.
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.
A designer who was mainly active in G-PLAN during the mid-century period. He supported G-PLAN together with Eve Kofod Larsen and Victor Bramwell Wilkins, and created several furniture series. The hit series, Quadrille, is still very popular today. Bennett's designs are characterized by their linear and elegant lines, while incorporating the simple Scandinavian style.
