Kevin KerrInhabiting a very British tradition of taking something classic and making it feel modern, David Mellor’s stainless-steel flatware is sought after by design cognoscenti for its clever distillation of a prolific range of top-drawer influences—from trad Georgian silhouettes to thoroughly modern minimalism—into soulfully unique, utilitarian objects. The firm’s eponymous late founder—a renowned industrial designer whose prolific career encompassed the official place settings for British embassies around the world along with street lights and bus shelters—saw elevating the everyday as his raison d’être; now, his sensuous pieces can be found adding elegance to both Tuesday spaghetti dinners and elbows-off-the-table Sunday roasts.
