Oslo-based designers Norway Says have designed a range of salt and pepper grinders called Plus for Danish manufacturer Muuto.

Made from lacquered-beech, the grinders have a ceramic mechanism and come in three colours: black for pepper, white for salt or multi-coloured for either.

The following is from Norway Says:
–
The PLUS mills are made in wood and come with a mill-mechanism that has a 25 year warranty. They come in 3 versions; a white salt and black peppermill and a multicoloured version that has both the salt and pepper option.
The traditional parts of salt and pepper mills are split into a stack of different sized elements. The composition reflects how you grip and use the mill. The biggest element is of course the one you turn to grind your salt and pepper.
Material: first class beech wood – stained and lacquered
Colours: white, black, multi-coloured
Dimensions: Ø 67mm, Height 180mm

Sottsas+Lego+80ies+bauhaus+very nicely handcrafted feel.
The finish looks Arabia like. So +scandinavian craft. Muuto
is becomming a serious player in design production, lets face
it.

Just bought them the other day (one coloured and one white).
They’re really lovely to handle and look great on a bright green table!

it’s quite different from the Sottsass’s mill for Alessi but as it is a totem it’s looks like other pieces of Sottsass
