Description
The Balzac armchair by Matthew Hilton was launched by SCP in 1991. It was SCP’s very first upholstery design. Initially, the design was met with little fanfare, but within a few years its curvaceous looks, modernist sensibility and undoubted comfort had caught the design world’s imagination. It went on to become SCP’s signature piece and bestseller.
