Wilhelm Seibel I founded the family company, the Britania goods factory W Seibel, in 1895. In 1911 the second plant, the Hessische Metallwerke Gebr. Seibel, is founded. Seibel became famous around the world in 1936 with the Olympic cutlery set for the Olympic village in Berlin. Due to the good order situation in the post-war years, the workforce has now grown to almost 1,000 employees. A rapid downturn followed in the 1950s, with 90% of German cutlery factories falling by the wayside. In 1958 Herbert Seibel made the courageous decision to manufacture design-oriented products. This ensures the continued existence of Hessische Metallwerke. Mono has been developing products with designers for over 40 years. These are manufactured in a manufacturing process with a high level of manual effort. The products have been recognized with prizes and awards worldwide for almost as long. In addition to various classic awards from design centers and museums, the form publisher dedicated a publication to Prof. Peter Raacke's mono cutlery in 1998 in the series? Design classics ?.
The award from Deutsche Post, which was awarded the special postage stamp series? Design in Germany? dedicates its own stamps to exemplary design objects from the post-war period. In 1998 the first block of four with motifs of objects from the Art Nouveau and Bauhaus periods appeared. The cutlery mono-a by Peter Raacke is shown as an example of the most successful exponent of modern table design. Other motifs are the HF1 television set by Herbert Hirche from Braun AG from 1958, the "pearl bottle" designed by Günter Kupetz in 1969, which is still used today as a reusable bottle for soda and lemonade, and the design of the Transrapid magnetic levitation train, which Alexander Neumeister designed in 1984 for Thyssen -Henschel developed. Mono is now in the fifth generation as a family company, since the beginning of 2006 as a Seibel design partner with the brands mono and POTT.
