Peter Zumthor was interested in producing objects with themes close to his heart. He presented his PZ01 design which was originally designed as a one-off piece for use in his own house. PZ01 is a pepper mill, made of precious European wood essences, which at a first glance looks like the mushroom-shaped pillars that support the Valsesia mountain chalets, but extended in an attempt, perhaps, to reach the essence of the manual mill.

The Swiss designer Peter Zumthor is one of the most interesting and courted international architects of the 21st century. He lives and works in his atelier located in an out-of-the-way village in the German-Swiss Mountains.

A beautiful and elegant piece for display and everyday use. The PZ01 features a metal grinder and is available in your choice of either mountain maple or walnut wood.
