Founded in 1985 by Sheridan Coakley, SCP is a United Kingdom–based manufacturer and retailer of modern furniture. Coakley was inspired by modern furniture and sought to sell classic and difficult to find pieces alongside new designs that celebrated the tenets of the modern movement. Thirty years after its founding, SCP remains dedicated to its mission to make and sell design products that are functional, attractive, and made to endure. In SCP’s first exhibition at the Salone del Mobile in Milan in 1986, the company showed designs by Matthew Hilton and Jasper Morrison. Since that first show, SCP has continued to produce new products every year, celebrating talented designers including Konstantin Grcic, Terence Woodgate, Donna Wilson, Kay+Stemmer, and many more. The brand has become a staple British brand, respected internationally for being innovative and producing lasting designs year after year.

Matthew Hilton was born in Hastings in 1957. He graduated with a degree in Furniture Design from Kingston Polytechnic in 1979 when he started to design and manufacture a range of objects using low-tech casting techniques. From 1980 to 1984 Hilton worked as an industrial designer for the product design company Capa, London. In 1985 he set up the Matthew Hilton Design Studio and started working for the British retailer and manufacturer SCP. Hilton’s collaboration with SCP includes iconic designs like the Balzac chair, the Flipper, and Antelope table. Matthew Hilton’s studio has since expanded its practice and is currently working with other manufacturers.
