Baude draws inspiration from Balzac, SCP’s signature upholstered armchair by Matthew Hilton that set the British brand’s course. The designer revisits his 1991 precursor, referencing the distinctive side profile and deep seat while replacing the cushion with an upholstered platform and specifying a sledge base. By slightly lengthening the profile and lowering the sitting position, he has created a chair that is ideal for domestic or contract use, constructed with a solid-beech frame, upholstered with multidensity foam and available in a range of fine upholstery materials. Made in the UK.
