Introducing Mono V, a true masterpiece of flatware design by Mark Braun. The inspiration for this exquisite collection was drawn from the humble disposable fork, where function meets minimalism. Mono V embodies the essence of luxury by focusing on stability and firmness through its sleek form.
Designer Mark Braun embarked on an extensive journey of material and shape exploration, leading to a brilliant yet minimalist solution — a simple bend at the end of each piece. The result is awe-inspiring: a V‑shaped embossing in the handle that provides the necessary stability, allowing the use of resource-saving material — a mere 1.5mm-thin sheet of stainless steel.
This exceptional collection comprises six pieces, including standard utensils, a dessert fork, and an espresso spoon.
The characteristic V design, gracefully diminishing along the handle’s length, not only ensures stability but also creates a striking visual appeal — a harmonious blend of sharp angles and organic curves. The interplay of surfaces, angles, and gradients casts captivating patterns of light and shadow.
