A range of Book Boards are the latest pieces created by British designer Sebastian Bergne. The Book Boards are wooden cutting boards that resemble both the shape and size of books. They can also be used as serving boards and make storage easy, as they can be placed vertically on a countertop or shelf among cookbooks because they easily blend in. A group of Book Boards can be accumulated to mimic a grouping of books as well.
Every single board is constructed from a variety of different reclaimed woods, so each one would be unique in terms of sizing, wood grain, and wood species. Bergne has launched a limited amount of Book Boards so far -- a total of 50, with every one numbered and branded.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Book-resembling Products
- Opportunity for creating other products that resemble books but serve a different purpose, such as book-shaped storage containers or book-shaped home decor items.
- Reclaimed Wood Products
- Demand for unique and sustainable products made from reclaimed wood, leading to opportunities for creating furniture, home accessories, and decor items using reclaimed wood.
- Hidden Functionality Design
- Opportunity for designing products that have a hidden functionality or multiple uses, allowing them to easily blend in with their environment while also serving a practical purpose.
Sectors Adopting This
- Home Decor
- Innovative home decor products inspired by the design of books, such as book-shaped storage containers, book-shaped lamps, or book-shaped wall art.
- Kitchenware
- Reclaimed wood cutting boards and serving boards, similar to the Book Boards, that offer a unique aesthetic and sustainable option for kitchen tools.
- Furniture
- Furniture pieces made from reclaimed wood that incorporate hidden functionality and mimic the form of books, creating a cohesive and visually interesting decor theme.
