There’s so much simplicity in the LEGO Salt & Pepper shaker’s design that it almost feels like the most natural interpretation of what salt or pepper shakers should be. Designed to look like oversized individual LEGO 1×1 stud bricks, these shakers actually come from LEGO, featuring the company’s famous logo on the top of the stud. Fill them with salt and pepper and you have the perfect themed shakers for your kitchen or dining table.
The shakers come in black and white, doing a brilliant job of simply explaining things without really relying on labels, details, or anything extraneous that would take away from their brick-based design. The best part, however, is that they actually function like LEGO bricks, stacking one above the other for some fun at the dinner table!
Designer: LEGO
The shakers are, according to LEGO’s own stats, a whopping 600x bigger than the standard 1×1 LEGO brick. They’re perfectly sized for gripping, have optimized holes that allow seasoning to pour through with absolute ease, and stack vertically in a way that almost feels like a fidget interaction. I’d probably buy a bunch of them just to make a tower or some LEGO contraption!
You fill the shakers by accessing the opening below. Rubber gasketing ensures the opening closes shut with a tight seal so that salt and pepper don’t spill out accidentally mid-shake. The opening is also fairly thick, accommodating the reverse-stud design that allows the shakers to nestle into one another, creating a 2×1 tower.
The shakers are available on LEGO’s website as well as on Amazon, but I honestly wish LEGO came up with a few more colors, just for a variety of other seasonings. Yellow for turmeric or curry powder, dark brown for cinnamon, light tan for onion or garlic powder, red for paprika. Wouldn’t it be just fun to have an entire colorful spice rack that’s actually a row of LEGO brick spice shakers? Well, although LEGO doesn’t make other colors, there’s always the option of 3D printing them (you can get the CAD files online). Just make sure they’re well-printed or they might break or become ridiculously difficult to use/clean!
