SAL⊥ by BOIR x IGNANT
As I announced on my IG recently, Kreatiff Things has a corner of Design Spotlight where I talk about my discoveries in the design world that mesmerizes me so I can share these beauties to inspire others too. Whoever knows me also knows I am all for unique experiences that cherish a story with aesthetically pleasing designs. No matter which discipline, design interacts with humans and taps into emotions. Therefore, it always needs a story behind it to form a personal connection with people to intrigue them and pique their interest. As soon as I came across SAL⊥, I HAD to have this unique design here, so I explored it more.

Elevating Culinary Traditions
As we all know, sea salt is a staple in Mediterranean cooking and is often used as the primary source of salt in recipes. It is produced by evaporating seawater and contains minerals that give it a unique flavor. The coarse texture of sea salt adds a pleasant crunch to dishes and creates great contrast when it's given the perfect combination of ingredients.
Here SAL⊥ comes in to highlight the traditional technique of harvesting this tiny but significant ingredient in the culinary world. It is a sea salt harvesting kit that comes with a hand-polished inox T-shaped tool, and a bottle of Nin 28 Bé°, concentrated Adriatic seawater, when exposed to light or heated up in the oven, its vessel transforms concentrated seawater into solid crystals, which are then harvested with the T-shaped tool and seasoned by hand onto your delicious choice of weapon.
