David Mellor London Flatware 2

David Mellor’s London flat­ware collec­tion exem­pli­fies contem­po­rary sophis­ti­ca­tion, reflect­ing Mellor’s mastery of form and metic­u­lous atten­tion to detail. Intro­duced in 2004, this collec­tion strikes the perfect balance between weight­i­ness and elegance, offer­ing both visual and tactile satisfaction.

With gently tapered flat handles and minimal curves, London’s design exudes sleek simplic­ity. The silky matte finish enhances its contem­po­rary aesthetic, while the off-set maker’s mark adds a subtle touch of distinc­tion. Its radical simplic­ity appeals to those who appre­ci­ate pure, under­stated modern design.

The collection’s brushed finish adds to its refined look, and the high carbon stain­less steel knife blades ensure supe­rior cutting perfor­mance. A serrated steak knife is also avail­able for added versa­til­ity, further show­cas­ing its practical functionality.

Crafted with preci­sion and designed to last, the London flat­ware collec­tion offers a time­less addi­tion to any dining table. This five-piece stain­less steel set includes a table knife, table fork, dessert fork, soup spoon, and dessert spoon, making it an elegant choice for the modern dining experience.
