Designed by Giovanni Alessi Anghini, "Cum Grano Salis" is a project which looks like a salt block. There are four transparent blocks of different forms containing four types of salt, a big black container for aromatic herbs, a black pestle and a mortar for to grind the salt and the spices.
Cum Grain Salis for Alessi exceeds the obsolete idea of salt grinder and he values the usage of quality salts by becoming a table centre-piece.
