Designed in Hackney: continuing this week's focus on Shoreditch design company SCP, here's the Josiah pendant lamp by Terence Woodgate, first created in 2008.
SCP are a proud British manufacturer and the lights are produced in Stoke-on-Trent, the traditional home of English fine bone china.
Hanging from braided textile cables, the quality of the porcelain provides a white glossy appearance when the light is off while its translucence gives a soft warm glow when illuminated.
All this week our Designed in Hackney stories have featured designs from SCP. The brand has been based in Hackney since 1985, working with some of the best designers in the industry. So far we have included Tom Tom & Tam Tam by Konstantin Grcic, the Balzac armchair by Matthew Hilton and Side Table by Jasper Morrison.

Here's some more information from SCP about the Josiah pendant light:
In 2008 Terence Woodgate created a forward thinking design, notable for its simplicity, elegance and grace. Josiah is made in Stoke-on-Trent, the spiritual home of English fine bone china, famous for its whiteness and translucent quality. The Josiah lights are as versatile as they are beautiful; they can be fitted with the latest innovative light sources, making them suitable for both commercial and residential environments. The light is available in small, medium and large and is suspended by a braided textile cable available in white, red or grey. When unlit the shades have a high gloss super white presence and when lit they provide a soft warm glow. Designed in Hackney, made in Stoke-on-Trent.
