AdHoc: Yono

Salt/Pepper Mill Light

Light tones, quiet gestures – and everything falls into place

It’s often the subtle details that define a table. The Yono salt or pepper mill by AdHoc is one of them. Crafted from oiled light oak, it introduces a soft warmth and natural brightness into any setting. With a height of 15 cm and a diameter of 6.2 cm, it feels balanced in the hand – present, yet never intrusive. A fine stainless steel ring adds a subtle accent, connecting top and base with quiet precision. Inside, the proven CeraCut® ceramic grinder ensures accurate results – continuously adjustable, durable and reliable. Whether for salt or pepper, a simple twist is all it takes to refine the moment.

Natural presence without explanation

The lighter version of the Yono mill feels open and effortlessly fitting. It blends into a wide range of interiors – from modern kitchens to more classic table settings. The oiled oak surface offers a pleasant tactile experience and develops character over time. It’s an object that not only performs well but evolves naturally with everyday use.

Where form meets function, quietly

For over 25 years, AdHoc has created products where design and usability meet seamlessly. The name itself – “ad hoc,” made for the moment – reflects a clear philosophy. Designed by Robert Franzheld, the Yono mill stands out through its balanced proportions and thoughtful material choice. Recognised with awards such as the German Design Award, it represents a simple idea: good design doesn’t need to be loud to last.

Beautiful on its own. Even better together.

The Yono mill in light oak works beautifully as a standalone piece, yet truly comes into its own when paired with the darker version. Together, they create a harmonious duo that balances function and aesthetics. Combined with wooden trays, ceramics or glassware, they complete a table setting that feels natural, calm and considered.
