Rock Salt Objects
In Cardona, Spain, the existing salt mine erupts at the surface and forms a mountain of salt that grows continuously. The salt, rich in potassium and magnesium, here becomes the starting point for a crafts workshop* for developing products that explore the special features of rock salt.
– A rolling pin made of rock salt for rolling bread dough, impregnating the dough with a salty favour and a slightly spicy flavour from the potassium.
– An egg cup to boil eggs in the oven. The egg will absorb only the right amount of salt.
– A collection of hanging and table lamps that explore the different shades of the salt rock.
