Designer Klaus Rath is also one of the great artists in the Stelton design team. He designed the popular Stelton bread bag and the Stelton mini bag. Klaus Rath has received several awards for his creations: the G-Mark Design Award, the iF Design Award, the Design Plus Award and the CES Design Award.

Stelton - The Story

Niels STELlan Høm and CarTON Madelaire were two friends who wanted to start a company together. Initially they tried it with furniture and later with sports shoes. Success was a long time coming until they decided to collaborate with Danish Stainless. Danish Stainless produced stainless steel housewares. They made a breakthrough into international business with a stainless steel sauce boat. The new sales manager, Peter Holmblad, provided a fresh corporate design and a new brand was launched: Stelton. Arne Jacobsen was Peter Holmblad's stepfather. After much urging from Peter, Arne agreed to create a new product line for the young company: the Cylinda Line. This was the beginning of the worldwide success of the lifestyle brand Stelton.
