Salina
A sculptural salt shaker in walnut and white — tapered, angled, and designed to dispense from a single hole at the lowest point of a slanted top.
A sculptural salt shaker in walnut and white — tapered, angled, and designed to dispense from a single hole at the lowest point of a slanted top.
Organic architecture, natural forms, and sculptural geometry informed the direction — explored first through quick sketches of tapered volumes in wood and plastic.
Dozens of angular iterations tested proportion, material breaks, and how the top surface could funnel salt to one or two dispensing holes.
3D studies refined the tapered silhouette — comparing cone, dome, and slanted-cylinder profiles before settling on the final wood-and-white composition.
The resolved Salina shaker — a tapered cylinder with diagonal walnut banding, a slanted white cap, and a single hole positioned at the lowest point for controlled dispensing.
Held horizontally over a plate, the angled top and single hole make seasoning intuitive — salt flows from the lowest point without shaking aggressively.
