A piece of Italian everyday design with serious mid-century flair. This Tre Spade pepper mill stands tall at 18 cm, with a bold geometric form finished in a glossy red plastic. Both practical and graphic.
Tre Spade has been making grinders and kitchen tools in Italy since the late 19th century. By the mid-20th century, the company embraced modern plastics, producing pepper mills in bright colors and playful shapes. This example is part of that era: a mix of Italian modernism, space-age optimism, and everyday utility.
Still fully functional, this pepper mill isn’t just for grinding - it’s also a collectible design object. Use it in the kitchen, keep it on the table, or let it stand on its own as a pop of Italian design history.
