designed by Leslie Dandy and manufactured by E. Gomme and Sons Ltd, High Wycombe, was one of the first attempts in Britain to establish a style after -war readily available.
Dandy has developed the simple and modern forms of the Utility to make it a range of more comfortable and elegant wellness furniture. British furniture company G-Plan was launched in 1953, but its origins go back much further. In 1898, Ebenezer Gomme (1858-1931) founded a precision carpentry workshop, E. Gomme Ltd., in High Wycombe, England, one of the major furniture manufacturing centers in the United Kingdom.
E. Gomma prospered until the 1940s.
After the war, Ebenezer Gomme's grandson, Donald (1916-2005), was convinced that a certain radical and more minimalist aesthetic would sweep the furniture industry.
This is how G-Plan began, a subsidiary of the traditional furniture company E. Gomme Ltd. In the 1960s, Scandinavian style swept over international design, and imports from Denmark overtook furniture made in the UK. So to compete, G-Plan hired Danish designer Ib Kofod-Larsen to create new collections in fine woods, such as teak and rosewood.
Despite the competition, G-Plan remained one of the most recognized names in UK furniture production until the late 1970s.
