| DESIGN NAME: Billund PRIMARY FUNCTION: Spice Grinder INSPIRATION: This grinder was made to inspire people to use more whole spices and different seasonings. Instead of having jars of different spices, why not have grinders? The idea was to inject more fun, playfulness and colour into a product that, traditionally, has a very different design language. The colour palette was chosen by Danish designers, Stilleben, to reflect the wonderful colours of ingredients found in the kitchen. It was important to use a responsible and sustainable approach to developing the product. Therefore, we used a ceramic grinder inside the product and a bio-composite housing. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Billund grinder is an upside-down grinder that does not leave any residues on the table. It has a silicone plug at the bottom that makes it easy to fill up with any spices or blends you love using. The Billund series is a fun, playful design inspired by the colourful building blocks of Denmark. The housing of the Billund grinder is made entirely of a sustainable bio-composite. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: This is called an upside-down grinder as the grinding burr is at the top of the product. This means you need to pick up the product and turn it upside-down when using. The benefit to this is that there are no residues left on the table when you put it down/lift it up. Also, it means that the coarseness adjustment is an easily accessible user friendly 'knob' on top of the product. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in Copenhagen in March 2021 and is now in production. |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The housing of the Billund grinder is made entirely of a sustainable bio-composite. The material comes from a combination of wood cellulose fibres and the oils that are squeezed out of wood pulp when making paper. All of this ‘raw material’ wood can be traced back to sustainably managed forests and is actually ‘waste’ from other industries. I am proud to use a low carbon footprint alternative to traditional plastic that doesn’t interfere with any food-production chain, unlike crop-based biomaterials.

NAME: CrushGrind PROFILE: Based on the principles of the old mortar, CrushGrind was developed to be more than just a pepper mill – established to create a better grinder than available on the market. Through will, passion and a bit of nerdiness we invented the original ceramic mechanism – a revolution of traditional pepper mills enabling consumers to grind all sorts of dried herbs and spices. And thereby releasing the essential oils from spices and deriving the full aroma. With our 1994 mill we offered a new and better way to adjust the grinder and a easier way to fill the spices. Our mindset is characterized by our authentic story and eagerness to create better kitchen tools. We aim to inspire our consumers and give them the best gastronomic experience - because we believe that everybody deserves one. |
