Mono Summer Residency

Mono is a family business in its sixth generation. Since 1959, the brand has collaborated with designers to create timeless products for the table and beyond— still crafted today in its own manufactory in Mettmann. For Currents, Mono has launched the Mono Summer Residency in collaboration with the Design & Social Context project group at UdK Berlin, led by Prof. Ineke Hans. Over the course of two months, students Garance Pröbsting and Jan Cichon are developing a pop-up snack bar as a site-specific installation together with Mono Studio Berlin. The project also marks the first use of a yet-unreleased Mono product — a snack tool designed by student Oskar Poetsch as part of an earlier UdK project.
