SCP 2025 Collection This year, SCP continues to define the company’s commitment to sustainability, material integrity and progressive design. Having pioneered foam-free upholstery, SCP is now established as one of the UK’s leading proponents of sustainable upholstery manufacturing. For LDF 2025, SCP introduces a new collection, including an armchair by Lucy Kurrein, new additions to Philippe Malouin’s successful Puffer collection, a bed by Sarah Kay, and a new armchair by Matthew Hilton. The Boxed Collection Initially launched to critical acclaim in 2009, the SCP Boxed Collection challenged designers to create smaller-scale pieces that fit within the dimensions of a standard shipping box. SCP has revisited the Boxed Collection brief, inviting a mix of established designers and emerging talent to explore the concept once again. Designers include, Oscar Coakley, Nathalie Du Pasquier, Matthew Hilton, Michael Marriott, Andu Masebo, Jasper Morrison, Elliot Payne, Ted Synnott, Jonah Takagi, and Donna Wilson. The Imperfect Archive | The Final Cut The Imperfect Archive is back with a capsule collection chosen from the four decades worth of original SCP material, including production designs, prototypes, one-offs, experiments, drawings, graphics, slide transparencies, photographs and other selected ephemera. Much of the SCP archive has not seen the light of day for the last four decades, having been stored in a barn in Hampshire all this time. Complicated and rich, the archive reflects the fast-moving small company that SCP is - one that has continually developed new products every year for the last forty. Bocci | Celebrating 20 years This year, not only marks 40 years of SCP but also the 20th anniversary of Bocci, the renowned design studio and research lab led by visionary Omer Arbel. Since its founding, the multidisciplinary studio has pushed the boundaries of design, experimenting with glass, metal, concrete, electricity and fire to uncover new possibilities and novel production methods. Aiming to unveil materials inherent possibilities, each unique Bocci object is an experiment, developed, engineered, and fabricated in-house. WoodMetalPlastic by Michael Marriott WoodMetalPlastic by Michael Marriott is an evolving raft of objects. Sometimes one-offs or prototypes, sometimes production pieces. They are mostly made of wood, metal or plastic, and sometimes a combination of these, and occasionally others too. Michael Marriott installs a pop-up market stall at SCP to sell his charming objects. On the Wednesday of LDF (17 Sept), SCP’s editor Duncan Riches will host a talk with Michael Marriott at SCP’s showroom in Shoreditch. How To Live by Donna Wilson A collection of handcrafted objects by Donna Wilson that offer a poetic response to the stresses and strains of daily life. Including Self Reflection, a sculpture crafted in wood and mirror. Out of Sight, Out of Mind, a colourful bespoke cabinet designed to hide away distracting technology and encourage presence in the moment. Also featured is a joyful wall installation of Wilson’s knitted dogs, made between her micro factory knit shop in Dundee, Scotland and her East London studio.
