Created with the great talent of designer-carpenter Sylvain Tremblay (today deceased), these salt and pepper mills are as functional as they are esthetic and will enhance your table setting in the blink of an eye. Thanks to a duo of passionate artists who wish to perpetuate the work of their designer, these little works of art will now be made in Val-des-Sources.
The recipient of several awards, Sylvain Tremblay was a well-known exhibitor of the Salon des Métiers d’Art. His pepper and salt mills, as esthetic as they are durable, were quite popular here. He developed his love for carpentry, and all the different wood essences at a very young age, while still at his father’s side.
