Robert Welch - Timeless British Design

When Robert Welch left the Royal College of Art in 1955, he set up with just his drawing board and a camp bed in a little rented room in a disused workshop in the 18th century Silk Mill at Chipping Campden in the English Cotswold Hills.

From the start, Robert was passionately driven to design highly functional, affordable products which possessed a timeless elegant beauty. He demonstrated this with his first major success - pioneering the introduction of stylish stainless steel cutlery to the UK.

Now boasting a range of some 26 knives and a multitude of cutlery designs, Robert Welch set new standards in the UK for kitchen and chef knives at an affordable price.

Using German steel, they produce everything from small vegetable knives, a selection of chefs and cooks knives, standard and serrated kitchen knives, longer carving and slicing knives plus the ever popular Santoku knives.
