The Parallax is a one-of-one salt and pepper mill set handcrafted from maple, walnut, purpleheart, padauk, and recycled skateboard veneers. Contrasting sections of hardwood move through each form, while layered skateboard veneers create narrow bands of colour that curve, shift direction, and reveal different compositions around the bodies of the mills.
Named for the apparent shift of an object when viewed from different positions, The Parallax explores movement and changing perspective. Each mill presents a distinct arrangement of hardwood, grain, and layered colour, while the shared materials and flowing veneer lines create a visual connection between the two pieces.
Designed as functional objects for everyday use, each mill is individually composed, laminated, turned, shaped, sanded, and finished by hand. Together, the pair forms a collected composition while remaining distinct objects in their own right.
Variations in grain, colour, and veneer placement are inherent to the materials and are part of the character of each piece.
