What is this and where is it now located?

I have a second clue available if it proves too difficult.

It is the Blue Peter Polystyrene Setee used for the program.   I am led to believe that it is still in use with the BBC.    Z**

This Two piece sofa set was manufactured by CNC for the revamped (2011) BBC – CBBC – Blue Peter Show. The sofa set includes the provision for a pop-up television and some of the materials used in manufacture to create the flowing curves and shapes include Extra High Density Fire Retardant Polystyrene, and various composite materials.

The sofa set was finished in High Gloss White providing a very durable and superior high quality finish suitable for long term use.

I phoned the manufacturers and the chap said it was still in use with the BBC!  If it ain't there it must have been moved.   I originally thought of the Design Centre in London but I haven't followed that up.   ZXZ

Just watched BP dated 11 October and it is on the set near the end of program.   If it is recorded in Salford then I agree with Hollins.

Well done both of you.

It is now in a much smaller studio in MediaCityUK down on Salford Quays in Manchester.

Here is the second clue I was going to give you.

I didn't realise there were so many different Blue Peter Badges.

I was hoping you would give it a miss and leave it to the rest!   ZXZ

That was not its original use, and I doubt if it would ever be one.  Mind you Schloss Macdonald does have a sort of ring to it! L0L

You are in the right country.

I'll try the Castle Chillon Montreaux but I'm not very confident of that.
