Overview

Stelton is an innovative Danish design house, founded in 1960. It aims to create timeless and functional design that makes everyday life more beautiful, with sustainability rooted in products that stand the test of time aesthetically and quality-wise. Its design families and product lines result from collaborations with international designers and architects, often awarded design prizes such as Red Dot, German Design Award and the ID price. Iconic designs like Arne Jacobsen's Cylinda-line and Erik Magnussen's EM77 vacuum jug form the basis of Stelton's DNA, and its durable, functional products are present in homes and offices all over the world.

History

It all started more than 60 years ago with Stellan and Carton, two soldier comrades who let their names melt together and created one of the most well-known design brands in Denmark - Stelton. First, they tried selling sports shoes and furniture, but sales did not really take off before they heard about a small factory in Fårevejle in Northern Seeland. The factory was called "Danish Stainless" and produced serveware in stainless steel which was very modern in Denmark during the 1960s. After having made a deal with the owner of Danish Stainless, Jørgen Knudsen, Stelton started promoting a sauce bowl in stainless steel which became very popular with the Danish hardware stores. At the same time the gravy boat became very popular outside of Denmark. Since 1960, Stelton has defined timeless Scandinavian design through collaborations with renowned designers such as Arne Jacobsen and Erik Magnussen. Honoring its strong design heritage, Stelton continues to craft products that embrace modern needs while staying true to a design philosophy where form and function come together to enhance everyday life with beauty and simplicity.
