BOTTLE GRINDERThis salt and pepper grinder set by Norm Architects' Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen and Kasper Ronn for Menu is especially smart, with a ceramic body and wooden top.

SALT AND PEPPER KEEPERSThe olive wood used in these tabletop salt and pepper keepers is grown in a sustainably managed forest in France. We love the swiveling magnetic lid and the two-chambered design of the double-size version.
