ORIGIN-SALT-AND-PEPPER-MILL
ENEMY
the disconnect between people and the origins of their food and flavours, where the source of everyday flavours like salt and black pepper is often overlooked and under appreciated.
PROPOSAL
these pair of salt and pepper mills are a material study into the origins of everyday spices. the salt mill is carved from pure white himalayan rock salt. the pepper mill is crafted from sapele wood, an organic material native to tropical regions where black pepper is grown. the pepper mill's oil-based lacquer and final coat has been formulated with extracts of the black pepper plant itself.
CRAFTED-IN-THE-HIMALAYAS
the white himalayan salt rock and sapele wood are each shaped by hand by skilled artisans on a lathe.
DESIGN
the design is intentionally simple: a pure cylindrical form with a split line where the two halves twist. the form shifts the focus to the materials, encouraging the audience to appreciate the raw beauty of the natural materials.
