Chili Scruncher - Piccantino Red - Alessi

Piccantino created by LPWK et Jim Hannon-Tan is a Chili scruncher to use in the kitchen or on the table and brings to mind the famous red chili-shaped good luck charm from Naples. In delicate, biological design it unites two very different senses: the tender softness of transparent rubber and the hard elegance of polished steel. It was conceived to solve the problem this irritating spice presents of coming into direct contact with the skin and mucous membranes. When gentle pressure is applied on the rubber container, red pepper gets broken into small pieces without the fingers coming in contact. It can be a gift a small, precious object for connoisseurs of spicy food REF: and like chili itself: it goes just about anywhere.
