Salvatori Ellipse Salt & pepper set - Bianco Carrara

ELLIPSE SALT & PEPPER SET

Composed of two round smooth-edged vessels, one lidded and one open, this set is the perfect tabletop accessory. Hand-finished by Salvatori’s craftsmen in our Tuscan workshop, their perfect, symmetrical shapes were achieved through Pawson’s rigorous approach to the simplicity of form, materiality, function, geometry and proportion. The Ellipse collection is a family of vessels and utensils for the home designed by long-time Salvatori collaborator John Pawson. Sharing a geometry and materiality – each piece is shaped from a continuous piece of Bianco Carrara marble – the collection is typical of Pawson’s expressive, minimal style: the simple forms of the vessels evoking a sense of calm and a spirituality. Note The technique used to create the soft, sinuous curves of each piece in the Ellipse collection replicates that of stones on a riverbed smoothed over the centuries by the relentless flow of water. The tiny holes that may appear in the surface of the stone are a natural characteristic of this process and should not be considered a flaw.
