Product information

The Twergi project, launched in 1989, stands as a testament to the revival of centuries-old traditions by the skilled wood turners of the Strona valley near Lake Orta. Each mill is a charming domestic totem, inviting you to enhance your table or kitchen shelf with its presence, like a miniature sculpture.
This versatile mill is available in a trio of enchanting shades, carefully achieved through seven layers of water-based lacquer, avoiding chemicals for a deep matte finish. These colours not only contrast beautifully with the light beech wood but also serve as a wonderful testament to craftsmanship and creativity. Enrich your culinary experience with this classic masterpiece of form and function.

Designer

Ettore Sottsass

Ettore Sottsass was born in 1917 in Innsbruck as the son of an architect. He was an important architect and designer. He graduated as an architect from the Polytechnic University of Turin in 1939. He opened his own studio in Milan in 1947. For Olivetti he won his first Compasso D'Oro in 1959 for the computer mainframe Elea 9003. He would win three more, the last of which in 1989 for the cutlery "Nuova Milano", designed for Alessi. He gave the design world an enormous boost with the Memphis movement, in which numerous other grandmasters participated. He died in December 2007.
