A hand-turned pepper mill shaped from walnut, hard maple, and reclaimed skateboard maple, paired with an antique-style cast metal grinding mechanism. The pale maple body is divided by a flowing section of colourful skateboard veneer, while walnut introduces warmth and contrast along the opposite side.
Kawa—meaning river—takes its name from the narrow line of reclaimed skateboard material that travels through the body of the mill. The restrained silhouette allows the movement of the layered material and natural hardwood grain to remain the focus.
The exposed mechanical grinder gives the piece an old-world utilitarian character, contrasted by the contemporary use of reclaimed skateboard material. Designed for everyday use but made to remain on display, Kawa sits between functional kitchenware and a one-of-one crafted object.
Natural variations in the hardwoods and reclaimed skateboard material ensure that no two pieces can ever be exactly alike.
