Right: David Mellor in his of David and Corin Mellor and what makes them exceptional workshop at Park Lane, in this world of so much unimaginative, mass-produced design. Sheffield, mid-1960s. The comprehensive David Mellor collection of thousands of fine kitchenware and tableware products can still be found on our website and in the David Mellor shops. Founded in 1953 by influential designer David Mellor, Royal Designer for Industry, the company is built on an inheritance of traditional metalworking skills and design excellence. We have always combined the best of historic craftsmanship with the latest in evolving new technologies. Current Creative Director Corin Mellor remains committed to these principles. Whilst we continue to make cutlery in our own purpose- built factory, we also search out other manufacturers who are similarly experts in their fields. By working closely with these specialist makers Corin and the in-house design team have been able to expand our collection of exclusive designs beyond our own small-scale manufacturing capacity. This approach of drawing on our expertise in design, manufacturing and retail has allowed the David Mellor collection to continually evolve.

‘I nominate him as Britain’s most serious, modest and greatest post-war product designer.’ Terence Conran Born in Sheffield and originally trained as a silversmith, David Mellor always specialised in metalwork. He is particularly famous for his cutlery which has won numerous design awards and is in many international collections. Ours is a unique collection of modern cutlery designed by David and Corin Mellor and it enjoys a well-deserved reputation for its purity of design and quality of manufacture. David Mellor cutlery is still made in our purpose-designed modern factory set discreetly in the natural beauty of the National Park. The Round Building itself, designed by Sir Michael Hopkins, has won numerous architectural awards and been described as a masterpiece of modern architecture. Our cutlery is still made by a small specialist team of highly skilled craftsmen, some of whom have worked for decades with the company, building up an exceptional expertise in metalwork. Though the factory is technologically advanced, a high degree of hand finishing is employed to give David Mellor cutlery its perfectionist quality.

‘Having trained as a silversmith, I tend to think of myself primarily as a maker… My approach to design is still, to some extent, that of a craftsman, in my involvement in directing all the detail and in making a design concept work from end to end.’ David Mellor Pride1953 Embassy 1963 Six-piece place setting Six-piece place setting Provençal 1973 Café 1982 Six-piece place setting Ivory handle 4993733 £115.00 4992712 £135.00 Five-piece place setting 4992619 £89.00 4992414 £52.00

Having been brought up in Sheffield with its wonderful legacy of knife making it was perhaps inevitable that David and Corin Mellor both shared a profound interest in design. David designed several ranges during his career and his son Corin has continued this tradition, designing three comprehensive ranges of kitchen knives for the company over a ten-year period. Superb in quality and beautiful to use, all David Mellor knives share the same design properties and employ the very latest innovative manufacturing techniques. The high carbon stainless steel blades are ice-hardened to minus 80°C. This stabilises the metallurgical structure of the steel creating a hard and durable cutting edge. With excellent balance and grip, and a razor-sharp cutting edge, these are amongst the world’s finest knives. ‘Rosewood’ kitchen knives Our top-of-the-range knives are designed by Corin Mellor and have been introduced to our range after three years’ development. The sinuously curving handles are made in Indian rosewood, the traditional material favoured by culinary experts. They are carefully hand finished and wonderful to use. The knife blades exploit the latest techniques in steel casting to arrive at the beautifully curved bolster. They are precision ground and glazed to give a specially bright finish. Combining ground-breaking manufacturing techniques with the historic David Mellor expertise in metalwork has resulted in a design of supreme function and beauty. Truly our most A luxurious knives to date.

‘A good kitchen knife is the most useful in any kitchen B and, if maintained properly, it should last decades.’ Corin Mellor
