Founded in 1955 by Robert Welch, Robert Welch is a family-run design business based in Chipping Campden in the Cotswolds. Originally a designer for industry, Robert Welch went on to open a retail shop to sell his own designs. Since 2001 Rupert and Alice Welch have expanded the business, and the products can be found around the world, from seven-star hotels, Michelin-starred restaurants and luxury airliners.
