What would we do without the insanely cool products from the Netherlands, particularly those of Henk Stallinga, the man who came up with these salt and pepper shakers? They are infinitely interesting, to say the least. They resemble traditional ear and mouth pieces from the telephones of yore. Actually, they don’t merely resemble them: they really are (unused) pieces taken from real phones. And they’re mounted on the indicators of the original Morris Mini. Quite the unique combination of elements. The top is beautiful ivory and the base is transparent white. What can we say? We love functional objets d’art.
