How would you react when you get to see those lifeless salt and pepper shakers displaying some lively gestures? Probably, you would be forced to love the sweet idea. Well, Mint has unleashed this cute Hug salt and pepper shaker. It might symbolize brotherhood and oneness but what attracts me more is the color combination. The black and white combination makes me think of the Chinese Yin and Yang symbol. A complex idea would be that this salt and pepper shaker can be said to ooze out a very strong message- the message of the amalgamation of opposites.
The Yin and Yang symbol is widely known for its spirituality and mental calmness. Who knows, this salt and shaker might provide the same. Well, as far as storage capacity is concerned, you need not fret since it is large enough. Also, made of porcelain, the shaker is obviously durable. Priced at 25$, this salt and pepper shaker is certainly more than what its nomenclature suggests. I guess the need of peace and oneness is what inspired the designer. These days, one cannot be quite sure as to what can inspire our minds and carve out brilliant ideas.

紧紧相拥----Mint（敏特公司）的食盐、胡椒粉罐
当看到这些没有生命的食盐、胡椒粉罐，摆出如此栩栩如生的姿态，你会有什么反应？你很可能会爱上这些奇思妙想。Mint（敏特公司）发布了这款相拥在一起的食盐和胡椒粉罐。也许这象征着兄弟之情或是合二为一的理念，但是更吸引我的是这种色彩的融合。这种黑与白的交融让我想起了中国的阴阳符号。这对食盐、胡椒粉罐组合传达出一个强烈的信号，或是复杂的概念，就是两个对立事物的融合。
阴阳符号所代表的灵性和精神上的平静已经被广泛接受。又有谁能保证，这两个小玩意儿不会传达同样的效果呢。你大可不必担心他们的储藏能力，因为他们有够大。而且，陶瓷质地使得他们更加耐用。定价25美元，这组食盐、胡椒粉罐比他们的名字要更值钱。我想设计师的灵感源于对和平以及万物合一的渴望。如今，我们已经不能确切地说什么会让我们的灵感激活并喷涌出无数的金点子。
