About Robert Welch

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.

It was an inauspicious start for a man whose strong design principles would make him an MBE and a Royal Designer for Industry.

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 stainless steel cutlery to the UK.

He steadily gained a reputation for excellence in both design and manufacture which lead to a constant stream of commissions - both commercial and privately from celebrities and royalty.

In the decades that followed, he was joined by designers, prototype makers and craftsmen. Together this small loyal team were responsible for many iconic designs still enjoyed today. This success allowed Robert Welch to expand the business across the whole top floor of the Mill and also establish a studio shop just around the corner.

In the early 1990s, Robert Welch invited his daughter Alice and son Rupert to join his small team and help drive the company onwards.

Growing up in a world of design and creativity proved an invaluable experience and after Robert’s death in 2000, Alice and Rupert became their father’s natural successors, steering the company’s future direction.

Over 20 years later, Alice Welch and Rupert Welch still manage Robert Welch Designs, working with a small team of in-house designers to produce a growing collection of award-winning products. Remaining true to their father’s design legacy brings a sense of continuity to the modern company.

Today’s Robert Welch team are fortunate enough to still be working in the same building where it all began 60 years ago. Robert Welch’s passion to create beautiful, functional, timeless products remains rooted in the company’s design DNA, ensuring his memory lives on and that every new product continues to be ‘Designed the Robert Welch way’.

KEY FEATURES

Ashbury cutlery is a classic pattern with a contemporary twist. The upward curve and fluid movement of the fork and spoon present a mirror image of the knife's vertical resting position. Traditionally shaped knives are also available. Spoons and forks are made from the highest quality 18/10 stainless steel; knives are forged from specially hardened stainless steel for a fine cutting edge.

All Ashbury cutlery is available with a mirror finish, has a lifetime guarantee and is dishwasher safe.

Every Robert Welch product has been designed to possess a timeless elegance whilst being both affordable and highly functional. This film was created as an introduction to Robert Welch and offers an insight into our passion for design.
