What customers say
The L'objet Haas Fantomes Salt and Pepper Mills are overwhelmingly praised for their exceptional, sculptural design, functioning as high-end décor and functional art. Reviewers consistently highlight the whimsical aesthetic, describing the mills as stunning conversation starters. Craftsmanship is noted for its luxury feel, evident in the smooth porcelain finish and 24k gold accents, suggesting durability and heirloom quality. While grinding performance is reliable, the primary focus remains on form over function. The significant purchase barrier is the extremely high price point. Buyers accept this cost for the artistic collaboration and brand prestige, though value perception is tempered by the investment required for this distinctive dining centerpiece.
Know before you buy
Yes, the mills are designed for straightforward manual use. You can easily access the internal grinding mechanism to replenish your salt and peppercorns as needed.
To maintain the finish of the fine porcelain, wipe the exterior gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh abrasives or submerging the mills in water to protect the integrity of the figural design.
While designed specifically for salt and pepper, the manual grinding mechanism can accommodate other dry, hard spices. However, we recommend dedicating each mill to a specific spice to prevent flavor cross-contamination.
The Haas Fantomes set features distinct figural shapes. Once you have them in hand, you will find it intuitive to identify which mill contains salt and which contains pepper based on their unique silhouettes.
These mills are designed for a consistent, standard grind suitable for everyday table use. They do not feature an external dial for adjusting the coarseness of the grind.
