Founded in Germany in 1959, mono—now combined with legendary tableware manufacturer, Pott—was conceptualized by German Professor Peter Raacke to usher in a new era in tableware. Unconventional at the time, today mono is the best-selling designer flatware in Germany and has received numerous international awards and been immortalized in museum collections. Both Mono and Pott celebrate simple forms, and a minimalist aesthetic dominates their cutlery and tabletop designs.
