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.

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.

Open walnuts gently and without breakage: The pico tip is simply inserted into the soft part of the nut and the shell is split into two halves by turning it lightly. With the outer tips, the interior can then easily take out.The highlight for jewelery fans: Mono Pico can also be worn as a chain on a longer leather strap.Diameter: 7 cmMaterial 18/10 stainless, polished stainless steel

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.

With the design of the legendary mono-a flatware, the designer, born in Hanau in1928, made design history. He further developed many designs that have become part of German daily life. In his teaching capacity at design institutions in Darmstadt, Kassel and Ulm, as well as Professor of Industrial Design at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Hamburg, he influenced many a young designer. In 2003 he was honored with a retrospective - 50 Years of Peter Raacke Design - at the German Technology Museum in Berlin.

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.

With the design of the legendary mono-a flatware, the designer, born in Hanau in1928, made design history. He further developed many designs that have become part of German daily life. In his teaching capacity at design institutions in Darmstadt, Kassel and Ulm, as well as Professor of Industrial Design at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Hamburg, he influenced many a young designer. In 2003 he was honored with a retrospective - 50 Years of Peter Raacke Design - at the German Technology Museum in Berlin.
mono - Home of the German producer of handcrafted design originals
Since 1959 mono’s goal has been to develop designer products that follow no trend, they simply outlast all trends. 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 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. Learn more about the full story here.

mono - Home of the German producer of handcrafted design originals
Since 1959 mono’s goal has been to develop designer products that follow no trend, they simply outlast all trends. 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.
