We Are Monoware.

Everyone should have a set of tableware for keeping. But fleeting trends that compromise on quality and design can make it difficult for us to buy to last. We’ve designed a set of beautiful, everyday tools for tables which are made to endure and to grow with the people that lay them. We call it a table set for life.

Making

Design for Life

Design begins with curiosity; how can we improve the objects we use every day? With specialised product designers we've interrogated form, colour and shape to make pieces with optimal function. Whether it's the curve on a coffee cup that moulds comfortably into the palm of the hand or the perfect pour on a water jug, we've created objects for life.

Lifestyle

Quality of Life

We combine exacting product design with high quality materials and work with family-run workshops across Europe to guarantee consistency in production. Our essentials come in a natural palette to fit any home as it shifts and grows. A commitment to a constant core collection means breakages will always be easy to replace.

Responsibility

For Future Life

Thoughtful design matters. That’s how we challenge our culture of disposability and passing trends. If our customers don’t need it, we don’t make it. Durable and useful, our products find a place in everyday life. To limit our impact on life around us, our packaging is recyclable, biodegradable and responsibly sourced.

Craftmanship

Designed in London. Made, fired, and hand-finished by skilled makers.

Community

Creativity for Life

If the table is the heart of the home then our plates, bowls, cups and jugs are the means around which stories are swapped, food is shared, lives play out. By providing people with a table set for life – a collection of beautiful, durable stoneware essentials that can grow with them – we’re offering people the tools to be creative at home, cook dishes and make memories.

The Founder

Daniel Baer

An advocate for informal dining, Daniel spent years developing the idea behind Monoware, frustrated by how hard it was to find tabletop essentials that were actually well designed for the everyday. A graphic designer by trade with a keen eye for colour and shape, he took pottery classes in the UK and Japan that sharpened his vision for timeless tableware. Along the way he met the makers who shared his obsession with the craft — a community of like-minded people who still shape Monoware today. And that's where it all landed: a collection of feasting fundamentals, built to last. Daniel is passionate about how good design enhances daily life and is always looking for the right balance. "What I'm seeking is for pieces to be both simple and timeless, but not without personality. Our plates and bowls are the trusted actors, whether in a home or a busy hospitality environment."
