The Pepper Grinder
Summary
Inspired by the elegance of a dancing couple, where emotion meets function through refined form—prototyped in clay, crafted in wood, and assembled with just 3 parts, no adhesives or screws…
The Brief
Design a salt and pepper grinder focused on form, ergonomics, and design for manufacture, while also collaborating within a design company context to present a cohesive brand aesthetic.

Concept
Inspired by the human form, my grinders reflect a dancing couple, minimalist yet expressive. The design balances emotional appeal with functional detail, incorporating manufacturable features and ergonomic considerations.

Product
This product deepened my skills in CAD, conceptualization, clay prototyping, and manufacturing techniques. I enjoyed working with ceramic clay, wood and developing a fully functioning product.
