Upholstery Collection 2016

A collection that explores ideas in modern upholstery making through six different sofas. Designs by Michael Anastassiades, Konstantin Grcic, Faudet-Harrison, Matthew Hilton, Lucy Kurrein and Terence Woodgate. Made at our specialist upholstery factory in Norfolk, using renewable materials, traditional techniques and highly skilled craftsmen.

SCP is a London based manufacturer of contemporary furniture, accessories, lighting and textiles. Established in 1985 by Sheridan Coakley, the company is guided by the modernist idea that design can transform the world around us. We make products from natural materials, using both traditional methods and advanced manufacturing techniques. At the centre of the company is our upholstery factory in Norfolk, who lead the way in sustainable making. We also work with a select group of specialist manufacturers across the UK and in Europe, who make everything from terracotta tableware to woven textiles. At SCP, we believe products should be functional, beautiful and made to last. Working closely with our designers, we keep creativity at the heart of all we do.

Linear Terence Woodgate

Pasha Konstantin Grcic

Originally sculpted in clay, this design was then scanned back into a computer to be refined, using the process of reverse engineering to complete it. The result is an assured design that seamlessly blends the arm, back and seat together to create one elegant form. The back is low, with a beautiful curve that extends from arm to arm. It sits on slimline flanged powder-coated steel feet.

The original Pasha was designed in the 1990s, but it did not go beyond the prototype stage. This design revisits the idea of the original, which was to create a deep sofa with a particularly reclined sitting position. It is neatly proportioned, firm, comfortable and very tactile, made in a noticeably textured fabric. The design blends strong angular lines and natural curves, creating softness in a formal typology.

Solstice Matthew Hilton

Rochester Michael Anastassiades

Solstice is a relaxed design that developed from the seed of an idea to create a fully upholstered piece that sits directly on the floor at the back. Subtle piping and seam details on the arms and cushion faces act as a counterpoint to the swooping curve of the design. Legs in bronze coated steel.

A design that grew from an inquisitiveness about how behaviour is changing on public furniture, where people are now inclined to be working or engaging with media on personal devices. Rochester creates a comfortable enclosure for the user, a place for a little privacy. The design language is strict and formal, but comfort has also been made a priority.

Continuous Faudet-Harrison

Tepee Lucy Kurrein

Taking some inspiration from upholstery designs of the 1920s, this sofa is notable for the use of continuous curves and a straight line sewn lengthways down the middle of the piece. The seat is very deep and has a pleasing line detail stitched into it. A sophisticated design that offers a number of possibilities in configuration. Oak legs in natural or grey lacquer finish.

43 166

A design that re-interprets the sofa typology. It is inspired by the simplicity of the hammock, the possibilities of strong industrial fabrics and the tactile elegance of high fashion. Tepee is a design that works with the natural behaviour of fabric, rather than against it.
