In the early 1960s, the Mono A series was supplemented by Mono E (ebony) and Mono T (teak) by Peter Raacke. The basic shapes of fork and spoon are the same as with Mono A, the cutlery handles of Mono E and Mono T are covered on both sides with riveted wood. This creates an attractive contrast to the stainless steel. Mono E and T can be combined very well with pre-parts from the Mono A series. Both ebony and teak are very robust woods that, with the right care, will last for decades despite daily use and contact with water. However, they are not suitable for cleaning in the dishwasher. The knife blade consists of hardened blade steel, which ensures a long edge retention.     Designer: Peter Raacke     Release year: 1960     Material: 18/10 stainless steel, matt brushed, ebony     consisting of knife, fork, soup spoon and teaspoon

Striving to produce items that do not decorate but function and have the highest standards of production, material and origin.This has not been a rare occurrence. mono products have become part of permanent museum collections of modern and applied art. mono friends elicit pleasure on a daily basis.The mono manufactory is in the North Rhine-Westphalian town of Mettmann. That is where Wilhelm Seibel I set the cornerstone, in 1895 with the founding of the Britanniawarenfabrik W. Seibel - the basis for the family enterprise, which today is led by the 5th generation. In 1959 the brand mono was established with the introduction of mono-a.Much has changed since then, and much has remained the same in the production process at mono. With stubborn dedication traditional processes were kept under the belief that manual know how, the human eye and high end materials actually do make a difference.Some 30 steps are used until the final flatware product is finished. The product is under constant evaluation, and only then and when the final touch is made, and perfection is reached, is the product released from the manufactory.Many mono products (partially several times) have been recipients of awards, and are in the permanent collection of museums of modern and applied art.

Mono Ring Welcome back! Mono Ring has been missing: on the table, in the office, at friends’ homes, and we missed it too. We were very uneasy about it. So finally we have decided to bring Mono Ring back home. For us the Mono Ring story continues, but for many it is just about to start. This is going to be exciting. The designer Peter Raacke, together with the graphic designer Karl-Oskar Blase and then managing director Herbert Seibel, established the brand Mono at the late 1950’s and also designed the flatware experiment Mono Ring in 1962. Mono Ring was in the market for three decades and became a classic. The young designer Mark Braun, 47 years younger than Peter Raacke, only knew Mono Ring from the design literature. He studied the original design intensively and reinterpreted it for its reintroduction. Raacke’s idea of 1962 remains strong: flatware that does not need a drawer and does not have to be placed next to the plate. Instead, it hangs visibly and handy on a cross-shaped rack in the center of the table and diners around the table help themselves. Wilhelm Seibel, Mono’s managing director, together with Mark Braun presented the results to Peter Raacke. After a intensive examination he gave his blessing: “You can do that!” In 2018, a new chapter in flatware history begins for Mono Ring. Revised and refreshed in ist form and available in five contemporary colors. Ist handle combines latest research and high-tech material. Hanging on the rack in the middle of the table - that is the proper place for Mono Ring at home, in diners, in cafeterias, in bistros, and in restaurants.

Mono Ring Welcome back! Mono Ring has been missing: on the table, in the office, at friends’ homes, and we missed it too. We were very uneasy about it. So finally we have decided to bring Mono Ring back home. For us the Mono Ring story continues, but for many it is just about to start. This is going to be exciting. The designer Peter Raacke, together with the graphic designer Karl-Oskar Blase and then managing director Herbert Seibel, established the brand Mono at the late 1950’s and also designed the flatware experiment Mono Ring in 1962. Mono Ring was in the market for three decades and became a classic. The young designer Mark Braun, 47 years younger than Peter Raacke, only knew Mono Ring from the design literature. He studied the original design intensively and reinterpreted it for its reintroduction. Raacke’s idea of 1962 remains strong: flatware that does not need a drawer and does not have to be placed next to the plate. Instead, it hangs visibly and handy on a cross-shaped rack in the center of the table and diners around the table help themselves. Wilhelm Seibel, Mono’s managing director, together with Mark Braun presented the results to Peter Raacke. After a intensive examination he gave his blessing: “You can do that!” In 2018, a new chapter in flatware history begins for Mono Ring. Revised and refreshed in ist form and available in five contemporary colors. Ist handle combines latest research and high-tech material. Hanging on the rack in the middle of the table - that is the proper place for Mono Ring at home, in diners, in cafeterias, in bistros, and in restaurants. Enjoy your meal.

Designer: Peter Raacke, Mark Braun Material: Steel wire, Powder coated Publishing year: 2018 Width: 14.5 cm Height: 31.0 cm Length: 14.5 cm Mono Ring is the pop star among Mono flatware. It was launched in 1962, well over 1,000,000 pieces of flatware were sold worldwide, and in 1967 Mono Ring even made it to the Olympus of design classics, the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In the early 1990s, sales were discontinued. Now Mono Ring is back. Together with Berlin-based designer Mark Braun, under the supervision of former designer Peter Raacke, Mono Ring was carefully revised and is available again in five colors since 2018. Raacke's idea from 1962 remains as strong as ever: a flatware that doesn't need a drawer.
