The SCP Balzac Sofa is considered by some to be an iconic design of the 1990s. With its sense of poise and balance, this classic design by Matthew Hilton is a wonderfully proportioned piece. Luxurious in comfort, the SCP Balzac Sofa features in Taschen’s 1000 chairs book and is widely used in advertising. Ideal for both classic and contemporary living spaces the three seater sofa is complemented perfectly by the Balzac armchair, creating a relaxing centrepiece for both family and friends. With the range completed to the highest of finishes, the SCP Balzac Three Seater Sofa uses only premium materials, handmade in the United Kingdom.
