Alessi Grinder MP0215 Black
Discription
The Twergi project, born in 1989, stands as a testament to the revival of ancient traditions by the skilled woodturners of the Strona Valley near Lake Orta. Each mill is a charming household totem, inviting you to embellish your table or kitchen shelf with its presence, like a miniature sculpture.
This universal mill is available in three enchanting shades, carefully obtained through seven layers of water-based lacquer, avoiding chemicals for a deep matte finish. These colors not only contrast beautifully with the light beechwood but also serve as a splendid testament to craftsmanship and creativity.
