Salt/Pepper Grinder

R.A.W. Designs strives to help people recognize the artistic value inherent in ordinary objects typically associated only with a functional purpose. By experimenting with form, pattern, and surface manipulation, R.A.W. hopes to surprise people with a sophisticated yet playful approach to making every day functional objects: bowls, vases, peppermills, etc.  Inspired by organic shapes found in nature, the basic structure of the salt/pepper mill designs carried by NHB KnifeWorks is spun metal, using burning, and carving to add complexity to the designs, all of which induce the kind of visual excitement that tempts people to touch the work. A primary goal of R.A.W. Designs has always been to encourage people to reevaluate their assumptions about the intrinsic artistic value of commonplace items.
