Alessi — Pépé le Moko AJM09 B | Black resin pepper mill

There is something radically honest about Jasper Morrison’s Pépé le Moko: a pepper mill that does not try to look like anything other than what it is, yet manages to turn every table into a small manifesto of style. Black thermoplastic resin envelops the form with a quiet, almost sculptural solidity. Absolute black is not a compromise in color, but a deliberate choice - that of someone who knows true elegance needs no decoration. Jasper Morrison, an undisputed master of contemporary British design, has built his philosophy around the concept of "super-normal": objects that exist without shouting, improving everyday life with an almost philosophical discretion. Pépé le Moko was created as part of the *A di Alessi* collection, the project through which the Italian manufacturer opened its doors to a new generation of designers capable of reinterpreting tableware archetypes with a fresh and rigorous perspective. The name itself - a tribute to the famous 1937 French film noir - reveals a certain affectionate irony, that sophisticated playfulness only the best can afford. At Stilmobili, we chose Pépé le Moko because it embodies exactly the kind of object we love: one that changes the visual quality of a space without imposing itself, fitting equally well on a table set for an important dinner or on an everyday kitchen counter. It is designed for those who consider design not a luxury, but a form of respect for themselves and their guests. *Project notes:* height 12 cm, diameter 7 cm - balanced proportions for a secure grip and a smooth motion. Made of black thermoplastic resin, lightweight and durable, and easy to refill.
