Alessi Salt, pepper and spice grinder

Alessi Salt, Pepper and Spice Grinder is a table accessory designed by Ettore Sottsass for Alessi, crafted in beech wood through a semi-crafted wood turning process. The finish is achieved using solvent-free, water-based dyes, reflecting the high standard of material quality that has always defined Sottsass's design philosophy. The result is an object that combines functionality with a strong aesthetic identity, featuring a bold interplay of colour and volume unmistakably rooted in the Memphis movement.

More than mere kitchen tools, these grinders are small sculptures designed to be used at the table or displayed on kitchen shelves, turning every everyday gesture into a moment of aesthetic pleasure. They are available in four versions, each differing in height and colour palette: Version 1 (Ø 70 mm, H 110 mm) comes in black, yellow and pink; Version 2 (Ø 70 mm, H 150 mm) is available in red, yellow and pink; Version 3 (Ø 70 mm, H 230 mm) shares the same red, yellow and pink palette; Version 4 (Ø 70 mm, H 255 mm), the tallest in the collection, is offered in black, red and green. All versions share the same 70 mm diameter, ensuring a comfortable and balanced grip regardless of the chosen height. A timeless design object that continues to be celebrated worldwide as a true expression of Sottsass's creative genius.
