{"product_id":"david-mellor-design-9781851496037","title":"David Mellor: Design","description":"\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eDavid Mellor: Design\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e is an introduction to the designer, his works and his importance within the British design landscape, post 1950. The wider world knows him for his cutlery, which although exquisite and important, is the tip of the iceberg. To see Mellor as 'just' a cutlery designer is to miss his depth: his love of public projects, street furniture or Church commissions. But then to see Mellor as 'just' a designer is to miss his influence as a patron of architecture, or his passion for retailing and promoting British crafts. He may be the 'King of cutlery' but that is just the beginning. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e David Mellor (1930-2009) began his career at the RCA, developing sophisticated yet simple aesthetics which he displayed through his silver smithing. His cutlery continued in the Sheffield tradition whilst using some technologically advanced manufacturing methods and radically modern designs. He also designed public street furniture in the 50s and 60s which pulled Britain's streets into the modern era. During the late 1960s he opened a shop in Sloane Square, London. His work as a retailer helped introduce the highest professional design standards into our equipment for cooking with and eating with. It followed the trail led by Elizabeth David, introducing continental cuisine to the country, a development that today seems so natural. Beautifully and comprehensively illustrated, this book opens up the wonderful work of David Mellor to a wider audience. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlso avaliable: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eClaud Lovat Fraser\u003c\/i\u003e ISBN: 9781851496631 \u003ci\u003eGPO\u003c\/i\u003e ISBN: 9781851495962 \u003ci\u003ePeter Blake\u003c\/i\u003e ISBN: 9781851496181 \u003ci\u003eFHK Henrion\u003c\/i\u003e ISBN: 9781851496327 \u003ci\u003eDavid Gentleman\u003c\/i\u003e ISBN: 9781851495955 \u003ci\u003eE.McKnight Kauffer\u003c\/i\u003e ISBN: 9781851495207 \u003ci\u003eEdward Bawden and Eric Ravilious\u003c\/i\u003e ISBN: 9781851495009 \u003ci\u003eEl Lissitzky\u003c\/i\u003e ISBN: 9781851496198 \u003ci\u003eFestival of Britain 1951\u003c\/i\u003e ISBN: 9781851495337 \u003ci\u003eHarold Curwen \u0026amp; Oliver Simon: Curwen Press\u003c\/i\u003e ISBN: 9781851495719 \u003ci\u003eJan Le Witt and George Him\u003c\/i\u003e ISBN: 9781851495665 \u003ci\u003ePaul Nash and John Nash\u003c\/i\u003e ISBN: 9781851495191 \u003ci\u003eRodchenko\u003c\/i\u003e ISBN: 9781851495917 \u003ci\u003eAbram Games\u003c\/i\u003e ISBN: 9781851496778\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Acc Art Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781851496037\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.70w x 0.70d","brand":"Teleri Lloyd-Jones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730131058869,"sku":"9781851496037","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_8bec6428-b1b8-4e87-8d6a-1f1e9f743c6d.jpg?v=1758004257","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/david-mellor-design-9781851496037","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
