SAL⊥ Dark
Regular price€180,00 Sale pricePickup currently unavailable
SAL⊥ is simple to use: pour in a thin layer of bottled brine Nin 28 Bé° that comes with the container, expose it to sunlight for an hour or heat it up in the oven. When the crystal pattern appears, it's ready to be served and harvested with a special metal T-shaped tool.
Watch the unique patterns of white crystals appear against the dark background. Every time you pour in the sea water it leaves a different mark on the enamel, due to varied evaporation speed and different salt concentrations within the layer. Every time you get a different natural abstract artwork.
Serve the vessels with freshly crystalized salt to your guests. Invite them to observe and compare crystal patterns formed in each vessel. Let them enjoy their intimate ritual of salt harvesting by scraping the crystals with the T-shaped metal tool, reminiscent of the one used by traditional sea harvesters.

The ceramic vessel inside is coated with a waterproof enamel to enable the optimal salt crystallization. All the materials are safe for alimentary use.

A moment so essential and simple, yet so unknown to most of us. SAL⊥ exhibits unique crystal patterns and allows you to harvest your salt in the most authentic way, applying the T-shaped tool reminiscent of those used by traditional sea salt harvesters.

Take the ceramic vessel out of the wooden case. Shake the accompanying bottle before opening. Pour a very thin layer of concentrated seawater into the vessel; it should be enough to only just cover the bottom.
Expose the vessel to bright sunlight for one hour. Or, in lieu of sunlight, put the ceramic container in an oven set to 100 degrees celsius for 25 - 40 minutes, until crystals begin to appear.
Observe the evaporation process. The unique crystal patterns will start to materialize. When solidified and dry, place cooled vessel back in its wooden container for serving.
Enjoy the intimate ritual of salt harvesting by scraping the crystals with the T-shaped metal tool, reminiscent of those used by traditional sea salt harvesters.
Season your meal with the natural Adriatic salt you've just harvested.
