WWJAD: Salt & Pepper Shakers by Jonathan Adler
June 11th, 2010
We love Jonathan Adler. We want to know what he likes. We want to know what he’d do with the horrible light in our living room. We want to know if he thinks sometimes total
demolition is the only answer (guest bathroom we are talking to you). We want to know if he could braid our hair. Okay, we we’re a little crazy about him…but seriously, What Would Jonathan Adler Do? That is a question we find posing to ourselves at multiple times throughout the day. We need to know.
It is becoming apparent that we may not get the answers we crave, but we can get these adorable salt and pepper shakers that are the perfect little taste of Adler’s design genius. You don’t have to be a person in the know to see how awesome and versatile these ceramic shakers are, so while we wait for the answers to any of our many questions…we’ll have to make do with the manifesto from the man and his company:
We believe that your home should make you happy.
We believe that when it comes to decorating, the wife is always right. Unless the husband is gay.
We believe in carbohydrates and to hell with the puffy consequences.
We believe minimalism is a bummer.
We believe handcrafted tchotchkes are life-enhancing.
We believe tassels are the earrings of the home.
We believe in our muses: David Hicks, Alexander Girard, Bonnie Cashin. Hans Coper, Gio Ponti, Andy Warhol, Leroy Neiman, Yves Saint Laurent, and Madonna.
We believe in the innate chicness of red with brown.
We believe in being underdressed or overdressed always.
We believe in infantile, happy emblems like butterflies and hearts.
We believe celebrities should pay full price.
We believe in rustic modernism: Big Sur, A-Frame beach houses, raw beams, and geodesic dome homes.
We believe in Palm Beach style: Louis chairs, chinoiserie, Lilly Pulitzer, The Breakers circa ‘72.
We believe our designs are award winning even though they’ve never actually won any.
We believe in Aid to Artisans.
We believe dogs should be allowed in stores and restaurants.
We believe in mantiques - suits of armour, worn chesterfield sofas, heraldic tapestries.
We believe you should throw out your Blackberry and go pick some actual blackberries.
We believe colors can’t clash.
We believe in blowing your nest egg on our pots.
We believe our lamps will make you look younger and thinner.
We believe in irreverent luxury.

The whale salt and pepper shakers are by far my favorite! These would make such a great gift and I love the adorable gift box that all of the shakers fit into!
Jonathan Adler you are the best!

Yes, these salt and pepper shakers are little pieces of art and they serve a purpose. I love all the designs but I the Mr. and Mrs. are my favorite!

Jonathan Adler seems to be the king of cute. From the boxes to the actual shakers it’s just all great.
