by David Mellor

David Mellor Odeon Flatware 12

The Odeon flat­ware collec­tion embod­ies under­stated glamour and modern sophis­ti­ca­tion, making it a perfect addi­tion to contem­po­rary inte­ri­ors. Intro­duced in 1986, this endur­ing favorite reflects the elegance of Art Deco and the clean lines of 1920s Bauhaus archi­tec­ture, result­ing in a time­less design with purist appeal.

Expertly crafted from premium stain­less steel with a satin finish, Odeon combines David Mellor’s signa­ture design flair with excep­tional func­tion­al­ity. The knife, avail­able in stain­less steel or black acetal resin, is partic­u­larly strik­ing, deliv­er­ing both aesthetic impact and ease of use. High carbon stain­less steel knife blades ensure a supe­rior cutting edge, while the satin finish lends a refined texture to every piece.

This five-piece set includes a table knife, table fork, dessert fork, soup spoon, and dessert spoon, offer­ing effort­less style and prac­ti­cal­ity for any dining occa­sion. Odeon is a testa­ment to Mellor’s vision of combin­ing beauty and func­tion in timeless design.
