Yucatan and Oaxaca mills - Poetic design for spices

Wood sculptor and master of Italian design, Michele De Lucchi's Yucatan and Oaxaca mills are two objects as functional as they are sculptural. Inspired by Aztec totem poles, these mills evoke a refined, tactile ritual, where seasoning becomes a gesture of elegance.

Made from FSC-certified beechwood, turned using traditional craftsmanship, these pieces are treated with a natural oil that enhances the wood's grain and ensures a silky finish. Their compact design keeps the table clutter-free, while asserting a warm, graphic presence. The high-precision Ceramic mechanism guarantees adjustable grinding, ideal for salt, pepper and the toughest spices.

Designed as a harmonious duo, the Yucatan and Oaxaca mills combine exceptional craftsmanship and industrial innovation, perfectly embodying Alessi's timeless aesthetic. Made in Italy, they will appeal to lovers of design, sustainable objects and unique sensory experiences.

Add a touch of iconic design to your table with these elegant, eco-friendly mills.

Michele De Lucchi: "There's little room for Toy! The Measuring stick for a Pepper pot is that it should be instantly recognizable as such. You can be ironic, surprising or astonishing by imagining amusing anthropomorphic shapes, but a pepper pot that doesn't look like one doesn't interest anyone. As someone who always starts with a desire to amaze with curiosities and extravagances, I took my project back to basics - a Column with a pivoting head - and then preferred to have fun with the trick. Little patterns formed, reminding me of Aztec stakes. This is how the Yucatan and Oaxaca were born, two little totems made of Wood that find their place in the kitchen. These elegant and notable mills reflect the rituals associated with meals and the conviviality of the Table. "
