A great looking mid century chest from G-Plan’s Limba range, designed by Leslie Dandy. A slightly less common line compared to their teak furniture, with a warmer, golden tone and a more understated grain.
This one is all about proportion and detail. The long, low shape works really well, and the raised base gives it a lighter feel than a standard chest. The handles are original and a nice feature - simple, angular, and very much of the period.
There are four generous drawers, all solidly constructed with dovetail joints and good depth, making it as practical as it is good looking. The top drawer retaining the original divider.
The Limba range was G-Plan doing something slightly different – still rooted in mid century design, but with a softer look and a more refined finish. Combined with their reputation for quality manufacturing, it makes for a piece that’s both usable and a bit more distinctive than the usual teak options.
The cabinet has been cleaned and finished, bringing out the colour and grain nicely. It presents really well overall, with minor age-related wear consistent with its age.
We currently have 2 of these units available at time of listing.

Leslie Dandy was the pioneering designer behind G-Plan, one of Britain’s most successful furniture brands of the post-war era. Born in 1923, Dandy worked for E. Gomme Ltd in High Wycombe, transforming the company’s vision of accessible modern design into reality and helping establish G-Plan as a household name across Britain.
Dandy’s designs evolved the austere lines of wartime Utility furniture into comfortable, stylish pieces that brought contemporary design into ordinary British homes. Working throughout the 1950s and 1960s, Dandy created furniture that balanced modern aesthetics with practical functionality, from the clean-lined teak dining chairs that became G-Plan signatures to the innovative Limba bedroom range with its distinctive metal legs and straight-grain veneers.
