The MP0215 grinder from Alessi’s Twergi collection is a functional kitchen tool designed by Ettore Sottsass. Made from turned beechwood, it features a high-quality grinding mechanism for salt, pepper, and spices. Its totemic shape adds a bold presence to the kitchen or table. Originally launched in 1989, the Twergi collection revives Italy’s woodturning tradition. The name “Twergi” comes from a Strona Valley dialect word for elves, referencing local woodworking heritage. Made in Italy, with some parts handcrafted on a lathe, this grinder blends craftsmanship with utility.
