Flip: An Unexpected and Clever Salt & Pepper Shaker

Combining the 2-step food seasoning process into one easy and intuitive step

Inspired by the simplicity of classic shakers, the Flip salt and pepper shaker by Sahar Madanat Design Studio is a unique and innovative addition to any dining table. With its clever design, it eliminates the need for separate salt and pepper shakers, streamlining the seasoning process.

The Flip salt and pepper shaker is a 2-in-1 solution that allows users to switch between salt and pepper with a simple flip. Unlike traditional shakers that require mechanisms to switch between seasonings, the Flip shaker relies on its intuitive design. Users can effortlessly flip the shaker to the desired side and shake to season their food.

What sets the Flip shaker apart is its simplicity in both manufacturing and use. It is designed to be durable and easy to clean, making it a practical choice for everyday use. The shaker's one-handed operation eliminates the need for complex mechanisms, ensuring a hassle-free experience.

In addition to its functionality, the Flip shaker also adds a unique twist to the dining table. Its sleek and modern design stands out, making it a conversation starter. The shaker's multi-functional stand serves as a funnel, making it easy to refill without any mess.

The Flip salt and pepper shaker is made using a combination of wood and plastic, resulting in a high-quality and visually appealing product. Its dimensions, with a base measuring 24 x 6.5 x 1.3 cm and a shaker length of 23.5 cm and radius of 2 cm, are carefully designed for optimal usability.

This timeless design is suitable for any location where food is present. Whether it's a home kitchen, a restaurant, or a cafe, the Flip shaker adds a touch of elegance and convenience to the dining experience.

The development of the Flip shaker involved extensive research and refinement. The design went through various iterations to ensure ergonomic comfort and functionality. The size and angle of the holes were adjusted to prevent any mess while flipping the shaker, providing a seamless user experience.

One of the main challenges in creating the Flip shaker was to keep the design simple for manufacturing while maintaining ease of use. The result is a product that combines practicality, innovation, and aesthetics.

The Flip salt and pepper shaker has been recognized for its excellence in design. It was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Bakeware, Tableware, Drinkware, and Cookware Design category in 2017.
