CUISINE

sculptural tableware hand-crafted from wood

Wood has a long tradition in the kitchen. Turned wooden bowls have been used for millennia across many cultures. My bowls are hand-turned from a single piece of wood and can be used as dining bowls or simply as ornamental objects.

Pepper mills are likewise a classic staple, for which I have developed entirely new forms. Turning spice mills is a particularly technical process: numerous stepped holes must be drilled with precision so that the grinder runs perfectly smoothly.

Sculpture or kitchen utensil — I seek to combine both. The forms often carry a subtle figurative character, while functionality always remains central.

Finished with a natural, food-safe hard oil wax, the surfaces are durable and easy to maintain. Crafted to last a lifetime, these objects are ideal for everyday use in your kitchen or restaurant.

GRINDERS

The heart of every pepper mill is its grinder. I use 2 grinders for my spice mills. The Danish company Crushgrind produces high-quality ceramic grinders. Strässler manufactures precision grinders from special steel in Switzerland.

CRUSHGRIND

The Danish company Crushgrind has been manufacturing ceramic grinders since 1994 and has been an absolute pioneer in this field ever since. The mechanism works with an intelligent click-in system that requires neither glue nor screws for installation. This allows maximum design freedom and eliminates the need for a metal knob on the head of the grinder. The grinder runs powerfully and precisely and is easy to clean. It is infinitely adjustable and retains the setting permanently. The grinders are suitable for grinding salt, pepper and all other dry spices. The manufacturer simulated household use over 200 years.

STRÄSSLER

The Strässler company specializes in precision mechanics. The Swiss manufacturer has been producing kits for pepper mills since 1957. Since then, the name Strässler has stood for the highest quality in the manufacture of high-quality grinding mechanisms. These are made from hardened special steel and are characterized not only by their high durability but also by their enormous grinding capacity. The pepper is finely chopped and not crushed, as is the case with a ceramic grinder. Insiders and professional chefs prefer this highest quality grinder.

STRÄSSLER SALT

Strässler grinding mechanism with a titanium nitride coating. This ensures long-lasting sharpness and prevents the grinder from oxidizing when used with salt.
