The price is for one pepper mill

Designer: Shawn and James Kay
Manufacturer: Tantalus Design

The Serratus Pepper Mill by Tantalus Design is a masterpiece of form and function, redefining the classic pepper mill with its sleek and beautiful design. At first glance, the mill appears to be a single continuous piece of wood, delicately crafted and almost impossibly thin. Its design is not just about aesthetics; it's a playful reimagination of the familiar household item, created to evoke curiosity and surprise in the user.
Despite its delicate appearance, the mill is incredibly sturdy, thanks to a solid stainless steel shaft hidden behind wood that's less than a millimeter thick at the isthmus. This construction ensures that the mill is not fragile and doesn't require cautious handling. The top of the mill can be twisted to produce fresh pepper effortlessly.
Adding to its functionality, the Serratus Pepper Mill features a stainless steel funnel at the bottom, making it easy to refill the pepper. This design element not only provides convenience but also contributes to the mill's balanced weight. The mill is equipped with a durable Danish ceramic grinding mechanism that allows it to be used with various types of pepper, including wet salts, without compromising its longevity.
What sets this pepper mill apart is the meticulous craftsmanship involved in its production. Each mill is meticulously crafted over several days, with every step of the production process developed from scratch specifically for this product. The base and the top knob, initially crafted as a single solid block of wood, are carefully honed and re-assembled to create the curvaceous, grain-matched body of the mill. The attention to detail, tight tolerances, and expert craftsmanship ensure the high quality and aesthetic appeal of every Serratus Pepper Mill.
Recognized for its outstanding design, the Serratus Pepper Mill received the prestigious 2021 New York Product Design Award. Not only is it fully functional, but it also serves as a highly decorative item on any tabletop. It's a must-have grinder for cooking enthusiasts and design aficionados alike. Each mill comes packaged in an elegant gift box, making it a perfect present for anyone who appreciates the marriage of artistry and functionality in kitchen tools.
