DESIGN NAME: Shuttle
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Mill Grinder
INSPIRATION: Traditional pepper/salt mill grinder requires both hands to operate, Electronic pepper grinder allows single hand operate but it is not environmental-friendly due to the consumption of battery and electricity. We notice those pros and cons, so we came out of this new design by simplify the complicate grinding process into simple shaking gesture.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: More intuitive way to grind, just shake it back and forth to enjoy the well grinded pepper/salt.
Easy to refill. Silicone base can also serve as funnel to help user refill pepper and salt easily.
Easy to disassemble and assemble for better cleaning.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Fast and easy operation, just shake it back and forth to enjoy the well grinded pepper/salt.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in 2013 in Taiwan and finished in May 2016, and was exhibited in Mison & Objet Paris in September 2017.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Our designed Pepper Shaker is a new kind of pepper/salt mill grinder, it allows you to grind your pepper with one hand and without battery.
We put thoroughly thought into Pepper Shaker ‘s overall design, to improve the user experience from better the ergonomic touch and streamline the refill process.
CHALLENGE: To control the force of mechanical movement to grind the pepper/salt evenly is the most essential and hardest challenge to us. Our design is based on the principle of flying shuttle, together with hand shaking gesture to grind the peppers. The key point is to keep pepper posit in between spiral layers and contact the stainless steel shuttle on the central axis. By shaking the grinder make the shuttle moving back and forth, the sharp notch on the shuttle will grind the pepper/salt into fine particle and come out.
