One tiny hole on this heart shaped salt shaker reminds you to take a little less…
designed by Bormann & Serman.

Also available from odc-paris for €39.

If you’re a devout follower of Jesus of Nazareth, just think of how much better your life will be with this salt and pepper grinder. Every time you need some extra spice, you’ll be reminded of your beliefs. Nice, right? I’m not one to lean towards any particular religion, but man, I sure do appreciate religious iconography, especially when it comes in this form.

If you’re into the whole cork craze (as I am), you’ll appreciate these wine cork-ish salt and pepper shakers. (I’m guessing they’re larger than an actual wine cork, fyi.)

Food approved with a stainless steel cover.

Masayuki Kurokawa’s concept behind these Shakers was to see the contents, so that in addition to regular salt and pepper containers, they could also be used for all sorts of seasonings. Each is hand-blown by Shotoku Glass Co., who used to make lightbulbs in Japan.

Sold in Set of 2 ($80) or Set of 4 ($160).

Inspired by mind-relaxing balancing stones, each vessel of the Balance Set features a unique color and finish so each seems like a unique find from the most perfect Jack Handey beach walk. The top vessel is a glossy white for salt, the middle vessel is a matte grey for pepper, and the bottom vessel is a matte white for dipping.

So this salt and pepper shaker is designed for robustness. It’s humid proof to prevent clumping, and housed in a extra tough plastic case to withstand abuse. I doubt you really need all those features (unless you’re a traveling chef or are really clumsy), but it’s nice to know right?

Whether you’ve solved ‘the cube’ or not, you might get a kick out of these salt and pepper mills.

These salt and pepper mills are the ultimate tabletop tribute to the 80′s icon. Each cube is built around a high-quality ceramic grinding mill. The top layer of the cube rotates to operate the mill. The action of grinding the pepper or salt has the same feel and sound as the classic cube puzzle.

2.25″ square.

Available as a pair ($34.00) or individually ($17.00).

Porcelain paired with cork, a lovely contrast in materials that makes for a pleasing look as well as a comfortable grip.

Named after the latitude where Denmark and Norway meet. A salt and pepper set has to remain on the table day after day without people getting tired of looking at it. This is the idea behind the design duo, ULIK’s salt and pepper set.

These various mills remind me a little of a vintage building block set, which could be good or bad depending upon your preference.

Throughout the 80s and 90s, Sottsass Associati was the core design studio for Alessi’s range of wooden products. The grinder series revisits classic wood-turning patterns.

An icosahedron is is any polyhedron (a geometric object with flat faces and straight edges) having 20 faces…just a little geometry lesson for those of us that don’t remember.

This salt&pepper was inspired from Icosahedron.
The unique shape of polyhedron are no longer strict with beveled edge and it is conform to irregular surface to fit in your palm.
It like more pieces of an object than caster on the table and give off a special mystique with the universal element.

Materials : Porcelain
Made in Japan

This is an interesting salt and pepper shaker; the etched pattern and combined design makes an altogether pleasing arrangement.

I’m quite happy with my salt and pepper shaker, but this one makes me wish I wasn’t…
