AdHoc: Yoko

Salt & Pepper Shaker Set

Two quiet companions for moments that matter

It often starts without much fuss – a laid table, good conversation, maybe a glass of wine. And somewhere in between, you’ll find them: the Yoko salt & pepper shaker set by AdHoc. Crafted from oiled oak, standing 7.5 cm tall with a diameter of 4.6 cm, these pieces feel comfortable in the hand while resembling small sculptural objects. The pairing of light and dark natural wood not only helps distinguish salt from pepper but also brings warmth and subtle contrast to the table. The carefully finished surface highlights the natural grain, making each piece unique – and more beautiful over time. Whether for salt or pepper, this set turns a simple action into a small, mindful ritual.

Quietly present, effortlessly fitting

Yoko doesn’t try to stand out – and that’s exactly why it does. Its soft, clean shape blends into both modern and classic table settings, pairing just as naturally with ceramics as with fine porcelain. Compact in size, always within reach, it remains understated while adding a sense of completeness to the table. A detail that doesn’t demand attention, yet subtly defines the atmosphere.

Design shaped by experience

For over 25 years, AdHoc has stood for products that balance function and design. The name itself – “ad hoc,” made for the moment – reflects a philosophy you can feel in every piece. Designed by Robert Franzheld, the Yoko set combines clarity with a refined sense of proportion and material. Awarded prestigious honours such as the German Design Award, AdHoc demonstrates that thoughtful design and quality craftsmanship naturally belong together.

That one detail that brings everything together

Perhaps that’s what good design really does: you don’t notice it immediately – but you miss it when it’s gone. The Yoko salt & pepper set pairs beautifully with other wooden accessories, trays or mills from the AdHoc collection, creating a calm and harmonious table setting. Whether as a gift or for your own home, these are the quiet pieces that tend to stay.
