Salt.it & Pepper.it

A refined design full or expressive intensity has been created by the Netherlands architect Wiel Arets with the Salt.it and Pepper.it salt and pepper grinders for Officina Alessi. A special aura of weightlessness (of the design) and strength (of the material) characterizes the products as well as the whole work of the architect.

The Officina Alessi collection includes the most sophisticated, through-thought, experimental and innovative products from Alessi. Salt.it and Pepper.it are a good example for that: simple and light in colour and form come along and thereby spread fascinating and profound elegance and peace.

The salt and pepper grinders thereby show the typical elements of the planning approach of the exceptional architect Wiel Arets: especially his aim of reaching balance of the single parts, still without being minimalist on a devaluating way, the inclusion of a high level of intellectual complexity, but as a total also of formal concreteness and simplicity.
