Salt and Pepper set with gold eye from Jonathan Adler
The Le Wink salt & pepper set is an iconic piece for your table setting. Made from high-fired porcelain with glossy gold plating, they are incredibly stylish and an eye-catching addition to your dinner table.
They have one eye on each side. Gift boxed, they make the perfect wedding, anniversary or hostess gift (or a special gift for yourself!).
An eye can have different symbolic meanings depending on the culture, but one thing is certain, decorating your home with eyes makes a statement.
Here are some of the most common meanings:
Protection and monitoring
The eye, especially in the form of the “evil eye” or “nazar,” is often used as an amulet to protect against evil forces and envy. It symbolizes vigilance and protection from harm.
Wisdom and enlightenment
In many cultures, the eye represents insight, enlightenment and understanding. It is associated with clairvoyance and the ability to “see” the truth or the spiritual.
Divinity and connection to the spiritual
In religious and spiritual traditions, the eye can symbolize the “all-seeing eye,” which represents divine surveillance and protection. Examples include the eye of Horus in Egyptian mythology or the Christian “eye of God.”
Self-awareness and introspection
The eye can also symbolize self-awareness and reflection, a reminder to look inward and understand yourself.
Aesthetic and cultural significance
In modern design, the eye is often used as a decorative motif that signals mystery, creativity or a connection to ancient traditions.
