# Minimalist Monochromatic Seasoners This S-Shaped Salt and Pepper Set Needs Not be Shaken By Kyle Towers | Published 2013-03-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salt-and-pepper-set References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2013/03/05/salt-and-pepper-slide/) This salt and pepper set by Guo Wei Chen is as modern as seasoners come. It allows the user to accurately slide the [desired amount of seasoning](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allrounder-seasonings) out rather than having to aggressively shake it. The seasoning is stored within the centre of each piece and is easily administered through a simple tilting motion. This set is said to be intuitive in order to ensure when it's time to say, "when," you will accurately stop the flow of seasoning. The style of this salt and pepper set is very modern looking with a smooth s-shaped design and [simple monochromatic colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fellow-matcha-set). It would certainly look sharp on the kitchen table and would suit just about any look. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Modern Seasoning Dispensers:** Opportunity to disrupt the seasoning industry by creating innovative dispensers that offer accurate and controlled seasoning without the need for shaking. - **Intuitive Seasoning Experience:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to design seasoning sets that provide an intuitive and precise way of administering seasonings, enhancing user experience and efficiency. - **Minimalist Kitchen Accessories:** Creating minimalist and sleek kitchen accessories like salt and pepper sets can disrupt the home goods industry by appealing to design-conscious consumers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Kitchenware and Tableware:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the kitchenware industry by designing modern and intuitive seasoning sets that add value and convenience. - **Home Goods:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in the home goods industry by creating minimalist and sleek kitchen accessories that cater to design-oriented consumers. - **Product Design:** Opportunity to disrupt the product design industry by creating unique and stylish seasoning sets that offer an enhanced user experience and functionality. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [MSG Shaker Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shaker-sets.md) - [Contemporary Pepper Grinder Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zjddg.md) - [Stylish Kitchen Gadget Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/savor-series.md) - [Functional Table Seasonings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/table-seasonings.md) - [Refined Ritual Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gejst.md) - [Stackable Compact Sake Set](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/non-sake-set.md) - [Smart Spice Grinders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gravity-grinder.md) - [Modern Geometric Artful Grinders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twist-collection-1.md) - [Ultra-Slick Minimalist Knife Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-knife-block.md)
