David Mellor Design is an introduction to the designer, his works and his importance within the British design landscape, post 1950. Most widely known for his enduring and elegant cutlery designs, Mellor also demonstrated considerable influence as a patron of architecture, a passion for retailing, and as a promoter of British crafts and product design. His cutlery continued in the Sheffield tradition whilst using some technologically advanced manufacturing methods and radically modern designs. He also designed public street furniture in the 50s and 60s which pulled Britain's streets into the modern era. During the late 1960s he opened a shop in Sloane Square, London. His work as a retailer helped introduce the highest professional design standards into our equipment for cooking and serving food.
