mono-tools 'zeug' flatware and cutlery designed by michael schneider for mono.

mono calls the zeug collection the 'protoset of flatware' and it isn't hard to see why. easily among the most artful, inventive, and adventurous collections we have ever seen - 'zeug' is a one of a kind flatware set.

inspired by the tools that neanderthal man probabaly once used, and made of 18/10 stainless steel, if you look closely, the seemingly obscure design comes into sharp focus. try this - imagine the knife as an ax, the fork as a skewing tool, the spoon as a cupping hand, and now you begin to get a sense of what 'zeug' is about.

artful, playful, abstract, and brilliantly logical in both concept and execution, these state-of-the-art eating utensils creatively re-imagine a time long ago while remaining functional and even practical for today's home.

perhaps you love the concept, but aren't so sure you want something so avant-garde? then try 'zeug daily', a more standardized version of the zeug series that uses the basic design concepts and transforms them into more a traditional flatware setting. a complete line of fully-functional 'zeug' knives is also available. so go ahead, take a chance - the primal side of modern living awaits.
