About
Celebrating a half century on the Chipping Campden High Street in 2019, Robert Welch Designs offers an extensive range of high-quality, British designed, ranges of the finest 18/10 stainless steel cutlery, chef's knives, barware, kitchenware and bathroom ranges.
From the start, Robert Welch 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.
We strongly value our heritage and continue to operate within the very rooms where Robert Welch himself founded the company over 60 years ago. On the top floor of the 18th Century Silk Mill, Robert Welch sat with nothing more than a drawing board and a camp bed. It was a modest start for a man whose strong design principles would make him an MBE Royal Designer for Industry.
Later, in 1969 Robert Welch opened his first studio shop on Chipping Campden High Street, where it remains to this day. Now guided by daughter Alice and son Rupert Welch, the company still retain its core family values and continue to design 'the Robert Welch way', with every concept built on the harmony of aesthetics, form and function.
Follow in the footsteps of Royalty as you visit the flagship Robert Welch Studio Shop in the idyllic Chipping Campden High Street - your destination to experience our innovative and multi – award winning products.
Immerse yourself in over 60 years of British design with an array of historic collections taking pride of place within the store. Our friendly shop team look forward to welcoming you and will even set the table to allow for a hands-on involvement of the Robert Welch dining experience.
