Learn the secrets of the cutlery king

Set in the idyllic surroundings of the Sheffield countryside, the David Mellor Design Museum is located in the grounds of the company’s factory and Country Shop. David Mellor was one of the best-known 20th century British designers. The museum shows the full historic collection of his work and that of his son, Corin Mellor, extending from marvellous examples of Mellor's handmade silver to the traffic lights we stop at every day. David Mellor was internationally famous for his cutlery design. The museum shows why he is often referred to as 'the cutlery king'. This wide-ranging exhibition is an eye-opener for anybody with an interest in design. Booking is not required but it is recommended; spaces are limited to 30 people.
