David Mellor

David Mellor, Royal Designer for Industry, the highest badge for British designers, is known for the beautiful cutlery created through his business, David Mellor Design. In the expansive David Mellor collections, the beauty in each style of cutlery comes through the blend of machine precision and the originality that results from hand craftsmanship. David Mellor creates timeless styles and durable cutlery, with all products equally suited for daily use as well as formal settings. David Mellor flatware is largely crafted from stainless steel, although other options are available in Silver Plate and Resin. Similarly, David Mellor kitchen knives are forged from high-carbon stainless steel, before being treated with an ice-hardening process that further sharpens the blade.

David Mellor, Designer
David Mellor is a designer through and through. From his birth in 1930 in Sheffield, England, an area famous for metalworking, he was exposed to the field that he would go on to pursue throughout his life. However, his design background stretches far beyond silverware. David Mellor also designed the British traffic light system that is in use today and designed a square mailbox, which received mixed reviews. In addition to this, the David Mellor factory and stores have won awards for architecture, displaying Mellor's caring for all-around design and craft, from the first metalwork to the final result seen in stores. David Mellor retired in 2005, and passed away in 2009, leaving the company to his son Corin Mellor. Corin Mellor has designed many collections, including the Black Handle collection, which utilizes a practical and elegant handle to accomplish the goals of any home or professional chef.
