Pepper-Passion exclusive Signature Salt and Pepper Mill Designs

Aphrodite: Doesn't this name seem like a natural? This was my first design and it is still our most popular. This classic design combines simple coves and compound curves that seamlessly flow together into a timeless and elegant form. Friends used words like sensuous, feminine, curvaceous and even voluptuous before in a moment of inspiration I remembered the figure from mythology who epitomized those terms.

This was my first signature design and remains our most popular.

Amphora: My latest design has rapidly become a customer favorite. This shape has smooth flowing lines devoid of sharp edges and epitomizes classical themes and elegant grace. I thought the upper portion resembled those ubiquitous artifacts found in ancient Mediterranean shipwrecks, hence the name Amphora.

Another shape harking back to classic times.

Baluster: A Baluster is an upright post supporting a handrail, and that was what I thought this shape resembled. The inspiration came while giving a woodworking lesson after I had made a huge gouge on my way to making an Aphrodite. The salvaging of a valuable blank of wood led to a second signature design inspiration that has proven to be distinctive and popular.

The deep sculpted lines yield a design that is striking and unique and is ideally suited for showing off bold grain patterns.

Luxor: I have been lucky enough to visit Egypt more than 15 times and continue to be awed and inspired by what I have seen there. This is my tribute to the impressive monuments of ancient Egypt. The sweeping lines are reminiscent of the lotus flower, a recurring theme in Egyptian art and architecture.

A classic form with excellent ergonomics.

Moderna: This design has been an instant hit since first being introduced, and is now probably our second most popular design. This is a flowing shape that combines the sweeping simple lines of a hyperbola into a fresh look, while retaining superior ergonomics for everyday use.

A design that is both classic and boldly contemporary.

Simplicity: The name says it all, from the "less is more" school of design. Clean uncluttered flowing curves suggest simple, understated, and timeless elegance coupled with superior ergonomics.

A graceful shape that you will never tire of.

Traditional: This is my interpretation of a "traditional" design, but simplified and sculpted more gently. Who ever said a pepper mill was required to look like the "Michelin Man"? (Not recommended for burl and/or spalted woods.)
