Alessi Piccantino Chilli Scruncher

Alessi Piccantino Chilli Scruncher

New Object Bijou by LPWK and Jim Hannon-Tan. This chili scruncher brings to mind the famous red chilli-shaped good luck charm from Naples. In a delicate, 'biological design' is unites two very different senses; the tender softness of transpatent rubber and hard elegance of polished steel. "Piccantino" chops, shreds and stores chili. It was conceived to solve the problem this irritating spice presents of coming into direct contact with the skin and mucous membranes.

It can be a gift; a small, precious object for connoisseurs of spicey food... and like chili itself; it goes just about anywhere.
