One of the quirky items you can enjoy in your kitchen comes from the creative mind of Alain Bearteau.
Alain Bearteau has decided to head to the pool hall for some inspiration for his newest creation. He's designed new kitchenware called the S&P salt and pepper grinder. Each of the models are made from the exact same material that's used to make cue balls in pool and is molded after its shape. Turn the top to start grinding and the bottom will season your food automatically.
Bearteau designed the salt and pepper grinder for Tamawa that will be shown at the Maison & Objet show, which runs from September 9th-13th. In addition to this wonderful kitchenware, he also designed a 8GB USB with the same concept.
