The Boxed Collection challenges designers to create smaller-scale pieces that fit within the dimensions of a standard DHL international shipping box.
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 DHL international shipping box (480 x 400 x 390mm).
For 2025, SCP has revisited the Boxed Collection brief, inviting a mix of established designers and emerging talent to explore the concept once again. With no restrictions on material, the brief encourages a diverse range of product typologies, reflecting the evolving landscape of contemporary design.
Boxton by Julie Richoz
A side table and shelf that takes inspiration from museum display plinths, ideal for displaying objects on top, with practical storage below. Boxton is simply constructed from four powder-coated sheet metal uprights and two horizontal stained plywood squares.
Bundle by Donna Wilson
A machine knitted ovoid shaped pouffe, inspired by an abstract painting, which contracts free-flowing forms with solid geometry. Made from a hard wearing pure wool, which can be dyed in spectacular colours.
Cove by Jonah Takagi
A round wooden side table with two rectangular uprights and three tiers of shelving. A refined method of construction gives the design a pared back aesthetic. The lower shelf sits on the floor, grounding the design, while the two upper shelves almost appear to float.
Henk by Michael Marriott
A slim side table that is inspired by the structural beauty of trestles. Henk is a versatile design that can be used for a number of functions around the home, and is ideal for smaller spaces adjacent to armchairs and sofas.
No.5 Series by Jasper Morrison
A set of three tables in different sizes and heights, which are all constructed using sections of 28 x 28 mm North American Douglas Fir. The No.5 Series tables are elegantly constructed using classic joinery techniques and are both visually and physically light.
Norton by Elliot Payne
A sophisticated pedestal side table with a round top and three sculptural legs. Inspired by furniture from the Georgian period, Norton is a resolutely modern design that utilises advanced wood manufacturing techniques. The round top has a reversed bevelled edge.
Troy by Oscar Coakley
A component-based side table with a folded steel base and a sheet metal top. With a name inspired by a precious metal measurement system from the Middle Ages, Troy started life as a much weightier design, but has been refined to make it slimmer, lighter and easier to move around.
Verdi by George Sowden
A distinguished coat-rack and small shelf with an aesthetic that conjures up a sense of classical European restaurant interiors. Verdi is made from European Ash, stained dark brown, and features three wooden round coat pegs and two polished aluminium ones.
Work by Matthew Hilton
A pair of trestles that are made using advanced manufacturing techniques. With beautiful joinery details and hard outlines, Work trestles are both strong and light, ideal for home office environments. Made from European Beech and stainless steel hardware.
