The company soon continued to grow and expand into all types of furniture, and by 1911 included all types of tables, cabinets and closets in its catalog. In fact, Gomme is considered one of the driving forces behind modern living room furniture in kit form, i.e. all the furniture in a dining room designed as a set and marketed as a set of parts including chairs, table, and sometimes closets and cupboards. The brand's founder died in 1931, leaving a legacy of a company that employed almost 800 people. During the Second World War, the company was involved in the manufacture of aircraft frames. In the 1950s, Donald Gomme, a close associate of the founder, launched the G-Plan, a collection of modern furniture, sold by the piece according to the customer's budget, which revolutionized the furniture market through its practicality and ease of marketing to the general public. In 1989, the brand was sold to the Hillsdown Group, which continued the business until it was bought by the Morris Furniture Group. Today, they continue to manufacture furniture and have founded the Wycombe Museum, an organization dedicated to the preservation and dissemination of the town's furniture and art collections, which is very rich in Gomme Furniture pieces.
