I love British firm SCP’s take on the democratic design push (led by Ikea in their first outing at Milan design week) being felt everywhere in 2009. The SCP Boxed Collection will launch in Milan this week. Guest designers were all briefed to create accessibly priced products, small enough to be carried home under the customer’s arm. Konstantin Grcic’s height-adjustable Tom Tom and Tam Tam tables, the cute as a button Ulrik, a timber stool in two halves by Alex Hellum, and Sum wall storge by Peter Marigold are my instant favourites, with Sum being perhaps the most democratic piece in the range. Three per pack, the shelves are infinitely modular making it the sort of furniture you can buy and grow at your own pace.
