AdHoc: Yono

Salt/Pepper Mill Dark

Sometimes flavour begins with a quiet turn

Some gestures at the table happen almost unnoticed – yet they change everything. The Yono salt or pepper mill by AdHoc is one of them. Crafted from oiled dark oak, standing 15 cm tall with a diameter of 6.2 cm, it sits comfortably in the hand while adding a sense of calm to the table. The natural grain remains visible, making each piece unique. A subtle stainless steel ring adds a modern detail, connecting top and base with quiet precision. Inside, the high-performance CeraCut® ceramic grinder works reliably and can be adjusted continuously. Whether coarse for a final touch or fine for a subtle note – the intensity is entirely yours to choose.

More than a tool – a natural part of the table

Yono doesn’t feel like a typical kitchen tool. It blends into the setting with ease, becoming part of the atmosphere rather than standing out. Its balanced shape ensures a pleasant grip, while the thoughtful mechanism works quietly in the background. No noise, no excess – just a smooth, controlled motion that feels right, whether you’re hosting guests or enjoying a quiet meal.

Experience you can feel

For over 25 years, AdHoc has been creating products where design and function meet seamlessly. The name itself – “ad hoc,” made for the moment – reflects a philosophy rooted in purpose. Designed by Robert Franzheld, the Yono mill brings together proportion, material and usability. Recognised with awards such as the German Design Award, AdHoc stands for a simple idea: good design doesn’t need to be loud to last.

For tables that don’t try too hard

The Yono mill pairs beautifully with other wooden accessories, trays or mills from the AdHoc collection. Combined with the lighter version, it creates a harmonious duo that balances function and aesthetics. Whether used on its own or as part of a set, sometimes a single object is enough to give a table depth – and that’s exactly where Yono finds its place.
