Due to a miscalculation with International pricing for Australia the Stelton Dot bowl prices have been priced in Australia well under the International prices. This has been corrected. You will notice that there are differences in pricing listed. These differences represent the stock that top3 by design still has on hand - or coming soon. We are maintaining the lower pricing for our customers while we have the original stock to do so. These lower prices will ONLY be available while the stock lasts. As new stock is required from Stelton it will be reflected at the updated retail price. All efforts are made to maintain the correct stock availbailities listed here, but as we do have the online store and physical stores there is the chance that your selection MAY be sold out when you place your order. In this instance we will contact you as soon as possible and refund the full amount. If you would like to add to your collection or get hold of one of these beautiful dot bowls at lower pricing - now is your chance!
In this series, Paul Smith playfully combines colours as if conceiving a new fashion line, he struts industrial design down the catwalk of his imagination. Products include a range of bowls with and without lids, which are as decorative as they are practical.
The colour combinations are the result of close cooperation between Paul Smith and Stelton, a process that involved a plethora of combinations before the final colour constellations emerged.
With their brushed stainless steel exteriors, Paul Smith's Dot bowls are suitable for almost any job around the house. They are decorative as they are, but can also hold paper clips on the desk, cotton puffs in the bathroom, teabags in the kitchen, or snacks in the lounge. Add lids, and the bowls take on a whole new range of functions.
The colour is an enamel-like surfacing, which gives the colours depth, but it is not fragile like old fashioned enamel.

SteltonStelton is an adventure in stainless steel. Stellan and Carton were two friends who merged their first names in forming one of Denmark's best-know design brands, Stelton. Niels Stellan Hom and Carton Madelaire were army pals who joined forces 50 years ago to start a trading company. They tried their hand at sports shoes and furniture, but their business did not really take off until they heard about a small factory in Farevejle, Denmark, called Danish Stainless.
Danish Stainless produced stainless steel tableware, which was very much in vogue in Denmark's 1960s. Upon entering into an agreement with Danish Stainless, Stelton began marketing a stainless gravy boat that sold like hotcakes in Danish hardware stores and was also a hit outside Denmark. In the United States, Stelton products were the epitome of Danish Design and sold at ten times their Danish prices in high-end department stores and design boutiques.
A new managing director, Peter Holmblad, brought his far-reaching vision with him when he joined the company. New catalogues, packaging and graphic design all helped create a new design brand. However, Peter Holmblad was convinced that Stelton could survive only through new product design. Far too many companies produced the same kinds of products. As the stepson of Arne Jacobsen, who was perhaps Denmark's greatest architect and designer ever, it was natural for Peter Holmblad to approach his stepfather with a proposal.
Stelton launched new products three years later as Cylinda-Line. The new series immediately made a splash as a major innovation within its category. The simplicity of cylindrical shapes and specially designed plastic handles characterized the line which, along with its brushed steel surfaces, stood in striking contrast to the highly polished curves of its day. Cylinda-Line was awarded the ID Prize in 1967.
The Stelton vacuum jug kicked off 30 years of collaboration between Peter Holmblad's business acumen and Erik Magnussen's creative power. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, the duo produced a wide range of design hits that appealed across generations of gift givers.
Peter Holmblad passed on the legacy to a new owner, Michael Ring, in 2004. Ring quickly initiated the company's commercial renaissance. He trimmed the assortment and invited new designers to furnish innovative product ideas to meet current consumer needs. Stelton added new lines to appeal to a broader range of consumer segments. While the cylindrical form can be seen in many of the new products, the current collection also includes a number of other, softer shapes.
