When you want to add some seasoning in hot food, the damp powder is really annoying when you can not shake them out. Forms follows functions through the shape and simple mechanism design makes seasoning jars get closer to the user.
The wooden button on the top has two functions. You can shake out the seasoning by pressing it. And it’s extremely easy to refill the content by just opening the wooden button.To block the moisture, the special shape of the bottle and the piston-like structure was designed for it.​​​​​​​
When put the seasoning bottle on the table, the piston which is made by silicon would keep at the top of the bottle. There is no gap between the piston and the container, therefore it blocks the steam and keeps the seasoning dry. Press the button makes seasoning coming out.When press the button, the piston moves down and creates a small space for the spices go through and pour out. When you press the button all the way down, the piston moves to the bottom of the bottle where there is no space between the piston and the bottle. Therefore, nothing comes out and goes in.
Thanks for watching!!
