1,100 Sofas in Five Weeks

Scooch at the G20 Summit

Scaled for the World Stage: 1,100 Sofas in Five Weeks. Making fast, high-volume, long-lasting manufacturing possible

A view of the G20 summit conference room filled with Scooch sofas and armchairs in various coours.

Scale

True scale and speed don't require sacrificing quality

The pressure was on to furnish delegate lounges, high-security meeting rooms, and fast-paced media hubs to a presidential standard.

5 week turnaround

Commercial manufacturers quote several months

Most commercial manufacturers quote several months for an order of over 1,000 custom pieces, but Scooch was given a tight five-week deadline and manufactured every single item in-house at their Cape Town factory.

Built differently

Modular design and smart engineering

Instead of shipping bulky, fully assembled furniture through complex summit entryways, the team created a flat-packed, click-together system that could easily navigate high-security checkpoints without requiring massive transport convoys.

Eco-friendly

Built with sustainability in mind

Beyond surviving a world-class summit, the pieces were built with sustainability in mind: designed to be taken apart, re-covered, and repurposed rather than ending up in a post-event landfill.
