The Balzac range from SCP is completed to the highest of standards, with the pieces handmade in the UK. Considered by some to be one of the iconic furniture designs of the early 90s, thanks to it’s sense of poise and balance, the SCP Balzac Armchair is renowned in part due to its great sense of proportion. Premium in its comfort, the Balzac is perfectly suited to a contemporary living area and beautifully paired with the Balzac three-seater sofa for wider effect.
The chair has remained in production continuously for 30 years, while the range remains a perennial favourite.
Born in 1957, British furniture designer Matthew Hilton studied at Portsmouth College of Art and then at Kingston Polytechnic. After graduating he worked for Capa as an industrial designer and model maker. He then went on to set up his own design studio/workshop in 1984. In 1986, SCP was the first designer furniture manufacturer to produce Hilton’s work.
Matthew Hilton has since gone on to work with many international furniture manufacturers including CASE, Montis, Authentics and De La Espada.
