Stelton Flatware

Stellan and Carton were two friends who merged their first names in forming one of Denmark’s best-know design brands, Stelton. Niels Stellan Høm and Carton Madelaire were army pals who joined forces 50 years ago when they heard about a small factory in Fårevejle, Denmark, called Danish Stainless.

Danish Stainless produced stainless steel tableware, which was very much in vogue in Denmark’s 1960s. Stelton first began with marketing a stainless steel gravy boat and it sold like hotcakes in Danish hardware stores. Today, Stelton continues to create beautiful flatware.
