The Grit and The Glamour: Marc Sweeney, Pepper Pepper Mill

“This is a pepper mill made from bio-resin filled with peppercorns. The canny aspect of the mill’s design is the fact that it is cast and not milled, so there is barely any waste material. I make a wax plug, which melts to create the cavity that holds the grinding mechanism. I feel there’s a duty as a designer to waste as little as possible. My mills look elegant but I think people connect with them when they hear the punchline that they are made from pepper. They smell like pepper too. Luxury is not only about how things look today; we respond to how things make us feel. Stories are a good way of forging connections.” Marc Sweeney
