Description: Proof of G-Plan advertisement in Daily Express 30 November 1955.

Three photographs show different chair and sofa models and a cut-away drawing reveals the construction.
Angle of View/Elevation: Cross-Section
Notes: This advertisement tackles the difficult problem of the quality of upholstery which is not evident to the consumer. The cut-away illustrates dowelled and tenoned hardwood frame bonded with aircraft plastic adhesive - no butt joints, high tensile strength springs treated against rust (No-Sag springing in the back and tension springs in the seat), and Latex foam rubber cushions.
