STELTON was born from Stellan and Carton, two friends who merged their names to form one of Denmark's best-known design brands. The brand concentrates on designs that aim to satisfy the needs of consumers and at the same time be functional. Among the many designers who have collaborated with STELTON, there are some of the cornerstones of Danish design such as Arne Jacobsen and Erik Magnussen.
The STELTON philosophy foresees that form and function must create a synthesis that incorporates innovative and different ideas in terms of concept, design and materials. In the words of Mies van der Rohe "less is more". This design philosophy is the key to STELTON's success and can be summarized in four main features: Timelessness, Simplicity, Functionality, Innovation.
