R. A. Bird for G-Plan Burr Elm Coffee Table, 1970s, Mid-Century Modern
This mid-century modern coffee table was designed by R. A. Bird for G-Plan and dates to the 1970s. The Island series is recognised for its bold, architectural forms and expressive use of decorative veneers, and this table is a strong example of the range.
The table is veneered in burr elm, selected for its richly figured grain, which creates a striking and organic surface pattern. The design is low and grounded, with squared legs and a framed top, giving the piece a sculptural presence.
A well-balanced example of British mid-century modern furniture, suitable for collectors, interior designers, or those looking to introduce a statement piece into a contemporary or period interior.

Condition:
Good vintage condition overall. There is a small area of veneer loss to one corner, along with surface marks and wear consistent with age and use. The structure remains solid, and the burr elm veneer presents well across the majority of the surface. These signs of wear are in keeping with a genuine mid-century piece and are visible in the photographs.
This is a vintage item – please see all photos to make sure you are happy with the condition. This piece may have signs of age and wear.
