MADE IN: Ramot Hashavim // Studio Kahn-Fragile Salt and Pepper Shaker The hammer above the K in StudioKahn’s logo represents both one of the oldest working tools, and the values Mey and Boaz Kahn bring to the homeware and jewelry items produced in their Ramot Hashavim studio. Fragile was the first project the couple worked on together as students of industrial design at the Bezalel Academy of Art in Jerusalem. The first item in the Fragile ceramic line, their salt and pepper shaker was inspired by the question “Can my guests feel more "at home" if I let them break something?” The Fragile salt and pepper shaker comes in one piece and by breaking it, you make it useful. “Breaking offers the experience of an impulsive outburst. This time, it is an act that builds rather than destroys. The event of breaking leaves its mark on the shaker and gives it its final, unique, one-of-a-kind appearance.” Once snapped in two, the Fragile salt and pepper shaker is ready to use. studiokahn.com
