The KG01 spice mill by Alessi, designed by Konstantin Grcic, celebrates industrial material through an essential and rigorous form. Crafted from a block of precision-machined aluminum, it combines a slender silhouette with a distinctive transition from a cylindrical to an octagonal profile, a design choice intended to naturally complement the twisting motion used during operation.

KG01 interprets the spice mill as a small architectural object. Its compact, vertical form evokes the appearance of a king on a chessboard, transforming an everyday tool into a distinctive piece—one that remains striking even when left out on a dining table or kitchen counter. Konstantin Grcic developed the design using simple yet carefully calibrated geometries: the body begins as a cylinder and gradually evolves into an octagonal profile, creating a surface that improves grip and makes the grinding motion intuitive.
KG01 is crafted from aluminum, precision-machined to achieve a compact, seamless form. A specialized sandblasted finish softens the metal’s natural luster, resulting in a uniform surface that is pleasant to the touch and true to the object’s industrial character. The available color options allow for a choice between a more technical, material-focused aesthetic and versions with a bolder, more graphic quality.
Designed for grinding salt, pepper, and other spices, KG01 serves as a versatile tabletop accessory. The octagonal shape of the upper section ensures a secure grip during rotation, while the narrow, vertical body allows it to be held comfortably with one hand. The direct relationship between geometry and physical action makes its function immediately clear—every formal detail stems from the interaction between the hand and the object
Thanks to its essential silhouette, KG01 can be used in the kitchen or directly on a set table, serving as a decorative, as well as functional, accessory. Its industrial, minimalist aesthetic pairs effortlessly with steel, glass, ceramic, wood, and stone surfaces, making it equally well-suited for private homes, restaurants, and hospitality settings. Furthermore, the variety of available finishes allows for individual use or the creation of color combinations when using multiple spice grinders together.
