Stelton is an innovative Danish design house, founded in 1960. It is our ambition to create timeless and functional design, which makes everyday life more beautiful. Design, which is sustainable because it stands the test of time aesthetically and quality-wise, so it can be cherished for years and passed on to future generations.
Stelton’s design families and many product lines are the result of fruitful collaborations with international designers and architects. Collaborations which have often been awarded with design prices like Red Dot, German Design Award and the ID price.
In 1963 a young Peter Holmblad was engaged as a Sales Manager and later became the CEO of Stelton. Holmblad was Arne Jacobsen’s stepson and as Jacobsen was one of the most famous Danish architects and a designer, it was only natural that he went to see his stepfather with his ideas. During a family dinner and armed with a simple drawing on a napkin was the first draft of what would become Arne Jacobsen’s first design of a serve-ware. After three years of product development Cylinda-line was launched in 1967 and rest is, as they say, history.
