Robert Welch
Silversmith and industrial designer (1929-2000)
Robert Welch trained as a silversmith at the Royal College of Art in London in the early 1950s. In 1955 he set up a workshop on the top floor of the Silk Mill in Chipping Campden, and worked there for the rest of his life. Throughout his career, he liked to move back and forth between industrial production and one-off, hand-made silversmithing. He was best known for his stainless-steel cutlery. Robert Welch Designs is still family owned and a new era of designers continues to pursue design excellence and innovative vision whilst maintaining integrity of function and value for money.
