DESIGN NAME:
Pit Stop
PRIMARY FUNCTION:
Table Pepper Mill/Shaker
INSPIRATION:
Inspired by a fascination for 1950s Science Fiction and classic sports cars.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
These grinders stand inverted on a tumbler base which is also the reservoir for the peppercorns. This stops loose grindings soiling tables and creating mess. The pepper is ground into a stainless steel ‘bulb’ from which it can be shaken over food therefore combining the benefits of freshly ground condiment with the accurate dispensing of a shaker.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
The form of the grinder makes a visually interesting table feature. The construction utilizes existing technologies and high quality materials. The ergonomics make the grinder pleasing to handle with the polyamide grip having a soft touch finish. The design has a deliberate ‘retro’ feel that looks back to shapes and forms from a past era but utilizes contemporary materials.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION:
The design concept was started in August and completed in October 2011.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY:
Food, Beverage and Culinary Arts Design

RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
The development of the design relied upon the use of primary investigation through models which tested the ergonomics and anthropometrics, the optimum size for the shaker holes and the balance of the inverted form.
CHALLENGE:
The main challenges in this project were to design something that was visually unique, that was easy to handle and operate and which dispensed the ground pepper efficiently with no residual mess.
