About David Mellor
About David Mellor
David Mellor Design operates on the simple principle that well-designed equipment can improve your life. The company was set up by David Mellor, Royal Designer for Industry. Mellor is a key figure in British design with an international reputation as designer, manufacturer and shopkeeper. Born in Sheffield, he has always specialised in metalwork and he is particularly famous for his cutlery design.
David Mellor’s concern with design in its broadest sense led to many important government commissions in the 1960s. He redesigned the national traffic light system. Mellor’s design is still in use. He developed a controversial new square post box, and designed minimalist stainless steel cutlery produced in huge quantities for government canteens and NHS hospitals. David Mellor cutlery is manufactured in a purpose-designed modern factory in the Peak District National Park.
Making David Mellor cutlery
David Mellor cutlery is made by a small specialist team of highly skilled craftsmen, some of whom have worked for decades with David Mellor, building up an exceptional expertise in metalwork. Though the factory is technologically advanced a high degree of hand finishing is employed to give the cutlery its perfectionist quality. | |
