Designed by Ettore Sottsass, the ES19 salt and spice mill is an iconic object reissued as part of the Alessi 100 Values Collection—a centennial tribute to the brand’s core values. Made of beechwood and handcrafted, this grinder perfectly combines daily functionality with emotional design.
Its soft, playful shapes—composed of stacked cylindrical and spherical elements—reflect Sottsass’s unmistakable style, capable of giving soul to even the simplest objects. Its bold, sculptural appearance makes it a decorative as well as functional element, perfect to display on the table or in the kitchen.

Each piece is unique thanks to the natural grain of the wood and the handcrafted finish.
