Magnificently upholstered in the iconic Sorensen Utah Russet leather that is synonymous with the Balzac range, this iteration of the Balzac Armchair comes complete with a matching Ottoman. Both the chair and ottoman are built around solid beech frames, and are generously proportioned, making it plain to see just why the Balzac has proved so popular over the past 30 years.
Born in 1957, British furniture designer Matthew Hilton studied at Portsmouth College of Art and then at Kingston Polytechnic. After graduating he worked for Capa as an industrial designer and model maker. He then went on to set up his own design studio/workshop in 1984. In 1986, SCP was the first designer furniture manufacturer to produce Hilton’s work. Several years on, SCP and Matthew Hilton continue to collaborate, producing modern furniture such as the SCP Oscar Sofa and Compass desk.
Matthew Hilton has since gone on to work with many international furniture manufacturers including CASE, Montis, Authentics and De La Espada.
