Aurum Salt Cellar
If salt had a little pedestal ceremony every time you shook it over dinner, this would be the chalice.
What it is:
The Aurum Salt Cellar is a polished, spherical container designed to hold salt (or other kitchen essentials) — paired with a clever coffee‑clip‑style tool that doubles as a measuring scoop and a bag seal. It’s a small, sculptural accessory that slides seamlessly into a kitchen that cares slightly more than necessary about the details.
Why you’ll actually use it:
Because it turns the most mundane act — seasoning your food — into something a little ceremonious. It’s compact, functional, and unassumingly elegant, giving you a tactile bit of luxury every time you reach for the salt. Plus, the scoop/clip combo keeps things efficient: measure, sprinkle, seal, done. If you’re cooking, hosting, or just eating cereal late at night, this makes the kitchen feel less utilitarian and more deliberate.
Key details:
Design: Fully polished, spherical salt cellar
Bonus tool: Coffee-style clip that functions as measuring scoop and bag seal
Ideal use: Salt, spices, small kitchen essentials
Ideal for: Kitchens that appreciate minimal design, dinner settings, thoughtful everyday rituals
Aurum isn’t just a salt cellar — it’s a tiny luxury that quietly insists your kitchen deserves to feel like more than just a set of pots and pans.
About the brand: Powered by People
Powered by People is basically what happens when “shopping small” gets a global operating system. Instead of mass-produced sameness, they connect you with makers who are spinning out hand-dyed textiles, hand-thrown ceramics, and jewelry that feels like it was pulled from an alternate reality where craftsmanship never went out of style. The through-line isn’t just aesthetics—it’s the insistence that every object has both utility and a backstory, often rooted in sustainable practices, reclaimed materials, and cultural traditions that would otherwise get bulldozed by the modern marketplace. In short: they’re trying to prove that conscious consumption doesn’t have to look like homework.
