Sheet on the reverse of the photograph reads ' Group 3.25. THREE LEGGED DINING ROOM FURNITURE BY G-PLAN. Circular three legged table No. 4333. The new circular dining table has been designed with three legs and matching it, is the unusual three legged dining chair. These are three legged, not because of some designer's whim, but for highly practical reasons. The table is small and compact so that it fits attractively in a medium or small sized room, yet with the three legged dining chair it seats six people comfortably. Measurements: 45" diameter ; 28 3/8" height. Price: £18.10.0. Three legged chair No 4511. The three legged chair to match the dining table has a triangular upholstered seat. Extensive research by the G-Plan Design Studio ensures that these chairs are as sturdy and as comfortable as more familiar designs. Any chairs not in use can be stacked on top of each other and put away until they are needed. Measurements: Height 21" ; Width 21" ; Depth 19". Price from £7.10.0. For further information please contact: Betty Law, G-Plan Press Office, 20 St. George Street, Hanover Square, W1. Hyde Park 6930. August, 1962.'
