Information from the brandProduct description
Product code: 73020703
An Alessi Twergi mill, a salt, pepper or spice grinder. This sculptural piece, made of beech wood, expands the collection of 'domestic totems' created by designer Ettore Sottsass in 1989.
The Twergi collection was created from a desire to revitalise the ancient tradition of woodturning, typical of the territory in which Alessi is based. These skills, such as the lathe, were passed on by craftsmen and turners of the Strona Valley on Lake Orta. The name 'twergi' ('elf') derives from the dialect spoken in the region. In their dealings with humans, as the stories go, the 'twergi' alternated between causing mishaps and giving a helping hand, which included teaching men how to make use of wood and other forest resources.

Brand information
Alessi draws inspiration from Italian industrial culture to create unique, contemporary products. Collaborating with over 500 designers around the globe, Alessi believes that “a true work of design must be able to move people, to convey feelings, to trigger memories…”
Born in Granerolo, Verbania, in 1916, Carlo Alessi studied technical design at the OMAR institute in Novara. At an early age, he worked in the metal workshop set up by his father, Giovanni, in 1921. In the fifties, he became managing director of the company, introducing a new international dimension, which he developed by working with external designers. He remained president of Alessi until 2009, when he passed away.
Alessi is now a B Corp, a company which strives to maximise the positive impact they have on their employees, the communities in which they operate and the environment, by using the business as a force for regeneration and sustainability.
