David Mellor Design operates on the simple principle that well-designed equipment can improve your life.

The company was set up by David Mellor CBE Royal Designer for Industry. David Mellor is one of the best known 20th century British designers and is internationally famous for his cutlery design. So much so that he is often referred to as ‘the cutlery king’.

David Mellor cutlery is manufactured in a purpose-designed modern factory in the Peak District National Park. The Round Building factory, designed by Sir Michael Hopkins, has won numerous architectural awards.

Located just outside Hathersage, in one of the most beautiful areas of Derbyshire, you will find the David Mellor Cutlery Factory, Design Museum, the Country Shop and Café - all on the same site. Together they provide a uniquely stimulating and enjoyable day out in the Peak District National Park.
