NEW COLLECTION: Jay Blades X G Plan

Over the past year, we’ve had a very exciting project in the works. G Plan have teamed up with long-time admired and master furniture restorer, Jay Blades.

Having become a well-loved household favourite, featuring on TV programmes such as The Repair Shop, Jay has lent his upholstery expertise to the new and exciting Jay Blades X G Plan collection. This innovative range rethinks the way classic furniture design can be crafted. Offering a diverse range of pieces, including four exceptional sofas, three iconic swivel chairs and a selection of beautiful footstools, the Jay Blades X G Plan collection will alter your perception of how staple furniture pieces should look and feel.

A Long-Standing Love of G Plan

In his book ‘Making It: How Love, Kindness and Community Helped Me Repair My Life’, Jay explains how a G Plan chair he purchased for £40 at a garage sale, ignited his love for restoring preloved and vintage furniture. With this in mind, a Jay Blades X G Plan collaboration was destined to take place. It was only a matter of time.

G Plan has set the benchmark for British furniture design since 1953; combined with the creative eye of Jay Blades, a glorious furniture range has been expertly handcrafted in the UK. The Jay Blades X G Plan collection really pushes the boundaries of classic British furniture design, incorporating bold and bright fabrics with ornate features and details. Designed to either look striking by themselves, or as a breath-taking suite of furniture, each piece of the Jay Blades X G Plan collection can be crafted to match your home’s aesthetic entirely.
