FRAYLING Christopher (intro) — David Mellor: Master Metalworker.

Sheffield, David Mellor Design, 2006 new ed. ix, 142pp incl 255 illustrations, chron, bibliog, list of works in collections. Laminated boards, 25x20. Very good copy. A fine work covering the whole of Mellor's career and output, nicely produced. As well as household goods, especially cutlery, Mellor designed many other objects now in everyday use, such as traffic lights, bus stops and pedestrian crossings. The current work also has good material on his architecture - he worked extensively with Michael Hopkins Partnership, including their joint design of the Round Building, Mellor's workplace outside Sheffield and 22 Shad Thames, his retail outlet in London. Updated and much expanded version of a 1998 Sheffield Museum exhibition catalogue.
