Corin Mellor's first cutlery design, designed in 2011, was a real breakthrough. Though it shows the influence of his father David Mellor, with whom he worked for many years, Chelsea has its own striking individuality.

A year in development, many prototypes were made to perfect the form and function of each item, with special attention paid to the balance in the hand.
