Experiencing enrichment


Salt and pepper grinder has been the same since…. Well, ever. Since the invention of salt and pepper mills, very little has changed about them and as a part time waitress, I know using an ordinary salt and pepper mill can be very uncomfortable having to twist your wrist over and over again.
Where there is salt, there is pepper.. But having so many things on your dining table or kitchen top could look messy, especially when they are ugly and unrefined for the contemporary houses. I am targeting my product to young couples who has just moved into their contemporary home and needs stylish utensils to suit their living standards.
So I came up with an idea! A salt a pepper grinder, that looks good and works well with the hands! The design I have came up with is unlike any of the existing salt and pepper grinders. Instead of having a cylinder for its body, I replaced it with an asymmetric, elegant, ergonomically shape that is soothing to the hands and works as a beautiful table decoration when not in use. No one would have ever thought that the sculpture on your table was a salt and pepper grinder.

  1. Jenni. Im a big fan of this design. It's sleek and stylish... great for your target market. Not only is it effective in achieving its purpose as a grinder, but it also acts as a beautiful household sculpture. Your hard work really paid off... and to think you did this all with a sliced finger, amazing! ;)

  2. i LOVE the idea..
    but wondering how the mechanical in it works, because it might end up grinding both sides..
    anyhow.. it is really sculptural, ergonomic, and functional..
    hopefully it is easy to refill..
