Corin Mellor, born in Sheffield in 1966, is the son of renowned designer-silversmith David Mellor CBE and cultural historian Fiona MacCarthy OBE. Trained as a product designer at Kingston University, Corin embarked on a career that seamlessly blended craftsmanship with architectural finesse.

Joining his father's company, David Mellor Design, Corin quickly made his mark as a designer-craftsman. In 2006, he assumed the role of Creative Director, taking the helm of the family business and expanding its repertoire.

Building on his father's legacy, Corin has introduced new ranges of cutlery, kitchen knives, and fine bone china tableware. Drawing on his architectural background, he has also designed the interiors of the David Mellor Design Museum and Café in Derbyshire, as well as the flagship store in Marylebone.

Beyond his work at David Mellor Design, Corin has undertaken significant public and private design commissions, including ecclesiastical silver for Sheffield Cathedral and a sterling silver collection for a Middle Eastern Royal Family.

Corin's dedication to design excellence extends beyond his professional endeavors. He resides in Derbyshire with his wife, photographer, and art director Helen Mellor, where they find inspiration amidst the vibrant atmosphere of the Design Museum and factory.
