Gerald Adrian Sallis Benney CBE (21 April 1930 – 26 June 2008) was a British silver and goldsmith who along with David Mellor and Robert Welch popularised stainless steel designs in post-war British homes.
Like Mellor and Welch he was influenced by modern Scandinavian design and in particular Georg Jensen.
The modern Scandinavian style Gerald developed was taught to him by Berger Bergensen.
