Plan Chest

Originally designed for architects, designers, and drafting studios, plan chests are celebrated for their robust construction, generous flat storage, and quietly confident mid-century aesthetic.

Today, these beautifully practical pieces have found a new life in the home, valued as much for their design integrity as their versatility.

Our collection of vintage and mid-century plan chests includes original pieces crafted in solid wood and quality veneers, often featuring multiple wide drawers designed to store plans, artwork, textiles, prints, or documents with ease. Clean lines, thoughtful proportions, and understated detailing make them ideal for use as storage furniture in studios, home offices, hallways, or living spaces.

At & VNTG, each plan chest is carefully sourced and sympathetically restored where appropriate, preserving the character and patina that comes with age while ensuring the piece is ready for everyday use. Signs of wear are embraced as part of the story, adding authenticity and individuality to every example.

Practical, purposeful, and increasingly sought after, a vintage plan chest is a timeless investment—offering both functional storage and a strong architectural presence in any interior.
