Origami-Inspired Cutting Boards

The 'GAMI' Cutting Board Streamlines Food Preparation

The conceptual 'GAMI' cutting board is a somewhat artistic yet highly functional solution for the kitchen that could accelerate preparation capabilities in a home or anywhere a chef travels.

Inspired by the art of origami, the cutting board consists of the board itself that can fold and shift into a highly portable solution that actually works as a sheath for storing a knife. This makes it highly applicable for mobile chefs, while also eliminating the need for multiple pieces of different equipment.

The 'GAMI' cutting board also shows promise for avid hikers or campers to utilize when looking to prepare meals when out in the wilderness. The design has been created by Seonggyu Simon Choi, Jeonghoon Mark Kim, Kyunho Aiden Kim, Park Gwan U and Jason Washam, and is the winner of the Red Dot Design Concept Award for 2018.
