Wood cutting board Prägen

A lasting impression These special presentation boards are easy to use and at the same time embellish your kitchen. The boards have a textured pattern on one side that is applied as an embossing in the pear wood. The flat side can be used as a cutting board, the embossed side is intended as a presentation board. The circle shaped handles are perfect to carry them around or to hang them on the wall, creating a beautiful geometric composition. The Pragen Boards are designed by Hanne Willmann. Hanne is a product designer based in Berlin. Experimenting with different materials and all their numerous combinations forms the basis of all her work. During her graduation she developed a technique to 'emboss' wood. After numerous studies she found a method to create permanent structures and relief in wood surfaces in this way. Together with Vij5 , Hanne designed a set of two pearwood presentation boards for cutting and serving, which are unique because of the embossed relief pattern. This technique literally gives the pear wood surface a third dimension, making it both visually and tactile attractive. The Pragen Boards have been part of the Vij5 collection since 2017. We met Hanne in Germany already some time ago where she showed us a sample of her Prägen project. Having a soft spot for interesting new materials, we immediately fell in love with the technique and took a sample with us to our studio in Eindhoven. We invited Hanne to do a workshop with us to explore the possibilities of the technique together. The shelves are available in two sizes of approx. 18 x 30 cm or 16 x 68 cm, both with a black powder coated ring.
