David Mellor Toast Rack

Your toasted bread slices have never looked so elegant. British "Royal Designer for Industry," a title reserved for "sustained excellence in aesthetic and efficient design for industry," David Mellor is the man and the brand behind some of the finest kitchenware and cutlery.

Designed in 1963, this toast rack was originally made for British embassies. Now, you can have a piece of British design history in your home. Just don't stock it with Wonder Bread, please.
