Cutting board

The idea for an end-grain wooden cutting / serving board emerged while thinking how to reuse smaller wooden offcuts, a byproduct in the shape of 4/4cm that was produced while making other, bigger solid wood furniture pieces in our studio.

Larger, built-in end-grain butcher’s block surfaces are usually used, as name suggests, by butchers and in professional kitchens because of its high quality and durability. We transformed it into a smaller standalone object for home use with distinct graphic appearance – smaller pieces of oak cubes are assesmbled into a mosaic-like symmetrical pattern that resembles a lace or similar knitworks.

While the production process is exactly the same for all the boards, the pattern on each one is different due to natural properties of the material.
