David Mellor | Provençal Black Cutlery

Designed in 1975 when Mellor was the first designer to develop the idea of combining stainless steel with high quality moulded acetal resin. Provençal was very much attuned to the good food revolution of the 1970s with its gently rounded handles and soft curved shapes suggesting Mediterranean cooking, fresh seasonal meals and sociable dining.

Acetal resin is a thermoplastic with low water absorption and is tough and resilient. Suitable for high temperature dishwashers with no adverse effect. Stubborn grease deposits on the handles can be removed with a damp cloth and scouring powder.
