Design Notes
Stanton Bright cutlery was Robert Welch's final cutlery design. Developed over several years, he designed the knives to be perfectly balanced. The pattern is an example of beautiful and exact sculpture, but also of cutlery which is comfortable to use.
The Stanton range shares its name with the village of Stanton in Gloucestershire around 10 miles from Chipping Campden where Robert Welch Designs has been based since 1955.

• Use quality branded all in one dishwasher tablets*
• Keep Rinse Aid topped up and Salt (for hard water areas).
• Avoid washing with non-stainless steel metals (this can cause rust staining - especially on knives).

Design Story: Stanton
The trademark of Robert Welch's designs created during the 1990s were sculptural shapes and curves inspired by natural forms. However, as with all of his designs, inspiration did not impose on functionality: Stanton was created to be perfectly balanced and satisfying to hold and use.
His approach to design was fundamentally practical and functional. His cutlery designs often evolved from looking at photographs of how the hand holds a knife, fork or spoon, before he modelled in 3D what he observed, using plasticine. He spoke of the importance of having a workshop to make what he called ‘solid scribbles’.
