its porcelain, probably glazed (we do some tests)
they are mills, so the top part can be removed to fill the pepper and the salt in.
the adjustment of the mills is from underneath
(a special system)

Why are they not showing the holes where the salt and pepper supposed to come out from?

Great pieces Florian! I love the whole family.
For those who think this is just playing with different materials, they are wrong. Is about how you put them together in the right way and shape, that is not easy at all, and you did it.

The time of ego design it has been passing to the past few years now…. design is more a collective discipline rather than egocentric and individualistic in a sense, and i think this is a good way forward into the design arena….especially when people comprising a design team, are coming from different backgrounds.

And i will agree with fitorio about the bi material….it has been done over and over again and not in the sense of coping but who hasn’t been taught at their product design course, that the combination of different materials gives a more professional, well thought design object!!!!

it’s mix ceramic+ wood here or steel +wood there…. You have a common material wood with an other …Its more complex to manufacture (Roset has some problem to manufacture a chair metal on a wood by emerging french designer Philippe Nigro). It’s good concept for differentiation ….

1/ Bi material is trendy in Milan this year….since Bouroullec chair for Magis?
2/ POSTFOSSIL is a swiss platform of youngs designers… as Atelier A1 in Bruxelles and okay studio in London..
Even Starck Academy “students” did a collective exhibition in 100% London…
Is it the end of ego design? Starck said yes in a recent interview
