Stelton
For now more than 40 years, the Stelton brand is characterized by its rigid design-language, which is based on the Cylinda-line designed by Arne Jacobsen.
For the future, the people's vision behind this legend is to be always recognized as the most surprising, innovative, and functional lifestyle-brand that offers high-quality Scandinavian design.
In order to achieve this, new materials and combinations will be introduced over the next years, so that Stelton will always be regarded as the brand that tickles your design-gene - a stelton state of mind.
How Stelton became a legend
Stelton was founded in 1960 with the purpose of selling stainless steel hollowware like platters, salad bowls etc. A design policy was formulated in 1964 when the then administrative director Peter Holmblad established a cooperation with the leading Danish architect and designer Arne Jacobsen. The basic idea was to create a true line of tableware where correlation of design between the individual items would always ensure harmonious table settings. The result was the now famous Cylinda-Line which was launched in 1967 and immediately attracted considerable attention for its serene and functionalist design.
The company rapidly grew due to the success of Cylinda-Line in Denmark and on export markets. After Arne Jacobsen´s death in 1971 a cooperation with the young designer Erik Magnussen, well-known for his work for Danish porcelain manufacturer Bing & Grøndahl, was established. His first creation for Stelton was the stainless steel vacuum jug with the unique rocker stopper, which was introduced in 1977 - the best-selling article so far in the history of the company.
Since then Erik Magnussen and Stelton have developed an extensive range of table top items in stainless steel and ABS plastics, i.e. salad bowls, teapots, serving trays, serving utensils and cutlery. The new 2000 series consists of serving tray, sugar, creamer, jam pot and two sizes of canisters.
Three times Stelton has been awarded the "ID-prize" by the Danish Design Council and a number of Stelton products are exhibited in a.o. The Museum of Modern Art and The Cooper-Hewitt Museum, New York; Philadelphia Museum of Art; Victoria & Albert Museum and British Museum, London; Staatliches Museum für angewandte Kunst, Munich and Kunstindustrimuseet, Copenhagen.
