Design Notes
Ashbury Bright cutlery is a classic pattern with a contemporary twist; the knives feature a fluid curve which creates a feeling of movement.
The table knife is designed to be poised for use, resting vertically with the cutting edge raised from the table top. The classic styling of Ashbury Bright forks and spoons contrasts against the modern silhouette of the table, side and steak knives, as the gentle kick up of the end of the fork and spoon handles presents a mirror image of the downward curve of the knife handle. Traditionally shaped knives are also available.

Design Story: Ashbury (2006)
One of the earliest cutlery designs created for Robert Welch by Kit deBretton Gordon, Ashbury takes inspiration from historic cutlery and is reminiscent of the shape of ‘pistol grip’ knives.
Now Head of Design, Kit recalls the design process for Ashbury: “I liked the concept of the handle fitting beautifully into the palm of the hand, and I developed the design from there. Cutlery should be an extension of the hand and multiple versions of the prototype knife were made to hone the feeling of balance whilst holding and using.”
