David Mellor: Design
Regular price $16.00A handsome book offering a comprehensive guide to the life and work of the designer, David Mellor
David Mellor: Design is an introduction to the designer, his works and his importance within the British design landscape, post 1950.
David Mellor began his career at the RCA, developing sophisticated yet simple aesthetics which he displayed through his silver smithing.
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 with and eating with. It followed the trail led by Elizabeth David, introducing continental cuisine to the country, a development that today seems so natural. Beautifully and comprehensively illustrated, this book opens up the wonderful work of David Mellor to a wider audience.
