This isn't just a grinder; it's a playful work of art for your kitchen. Designed by the legendary Ettore Sottsass, the Twergi mill resembles a colourful totem, crafted from smooth beechwood. The high-quality grinding mechanism tackles peppercorns, salt crystals, and a variety of other spices with ease. More than just functional, the Twergi mill adds a delightful pop of colour to your table or countertop. First introduced in 1989, the Twergi collection is a homage to the time-honoured craft of woodturning. The name "Twergi" itself comes from the Strona Valley dialect, where elves (considered both tricksters and teachers) were said to possess a mastery of woodworking. Each mill is manufactured in Italy, ensuring the quality and craftsmanship you expect from Alessi. Embrace the whimsical spirit of the Twergi collection and bring a touch of Italian design to your kitchen.
