The super-minimalist design splits into two halves. One half is an oil bottle, the other a mortar to grind and mix. Threaded together, the two parts create the roller. ‘The design identifies the possibility to boost hand-made food and recover old traditional cooking techniques,’ the designer explains.

This is a great example of how modern design helps revive techniques.
