We see vintage G Plan dining tables regularly, such was their mass appeal and they are just so well made, standing the test of time. This particular model though is a rare find. Smaller than G Plan’s more commonly seen rectangular table but larger than their Fresco round table, its shape is somewhere between the two – a curved, chunky rectangle, if you will. In fact at a glance in its standard mode, it looks like a very rounded square. It’s in great condition having undergone a partial restoration – a refinished table top – and will comfortable seat four, possibly even six with smaller dining chairs, unextended. Pull the two sides apart to reveal the extension hidden underneath. This cleverly folds out taking it to just over 180cm in length so room for six – eight diners. As you would expect from G Plan, it’s really well-constructed in teak and for all that its design is rather robust and utilitarian, there are some thoughtful details like the squared legs which subtly morph into rounds, and the thick, rounded off table edges.
