Also from Ladies & Gentlemen Studio are these simple Cylinder Shakers. No messing around with extraneous design elements here- just the bare-bones cylinder will do, thank you very much, with a cork stopper plug. Right now it looks like they have the Brass and Copper in stock, both with an untreated radial brushed finish that will patina over time.

Modern tabletop accessories can often fall into the angular camp. There’s nothing wrong with that, of course, it’s just that sometimes it’s nice to have more rounded, organic shapes to offset all the sharp corners we deal with on a daily basis. These stone-shaped salt and pepper holders look like real stones found at the waterside and one could assume their smooth surface would be nice to hold/use.

This Plus One Salt Cellar by Muuto is a good match to the Plus Spice Mill just as intended. Stone and wood are lasting materials that fit into a variety of kitchen styles so it’s no surprise that the adjective ‘timeless’ is bandied about; it’s a no-brainer (if you need a salt cellar).

This salt & pepper set has embedded neodymium magnets to help keep the two pieces paired together as one. That’s a small detail that makes a big difference if you’re always losing one or the other in the cabinet or on the table. It would also simplify passing the salt and pepper around the table when your family or guests prefer to season their own meal (chefs: cue audible gasp).

One tiny hole on this heart shaped salt shaker reminds you to take a little less…

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.

Designer: Ulik designduo
Dimensions: 3 3/4” H x 1 1/2” dia

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.

I know I posted these before, but I didn’t know it was also available in multicolor(!) and this retailer has it for a little less.

Made from lacquered-beech, these totem-like grinders have a fine ceramic grinding mechanism and are available in two colors: black for pepper, white for salt. Grinding mechanism guaranteed for 25 years.

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.
