It is probably easier to refer to this type of furniture as that of the 60’s, where the style of furniture is often referred as ‘funky’ and ‘cool’.
The style ‘G Plan’, introduced in 1952 quickly became popular and was widely used with much enthusiasm
G Plan can be simply explained as a ‘mix and match’ concept as the manufacturers in 60’s regularly produced limited range of furniture, the customers were then more or less encouraged to buy consecutive sets of furniture that could go well together with the original sets. The result was often satisfying as different furniture could exist harmoniously in any given space.
This was considered a breakthrough because previously home owners were forced to buy really expensive sets of furniture all at once. With G Plan, they could buy any number of furniture at different times and didn’t have to worry about them not matching.
