# Chic Versatile Breadboards The Joseph Joseph Slice & Serve Boasts a Built-In Bowl By Meghan Young | Published 2013-07-31 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joseph-joseph-slice-serve References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/fresh-milk-daily-pick-slice-serve-cheese-board/) & [josephjoseph](http://www.josephjoseph.com/product/view/562) Serving platters, especially when it comes to breadboards, can be an art form in and of itself as the Joseph Joseph Slice & Serve shows. There are various elements that not only go into the preparation but also the presentation that make a lot of the traditional trays full of shortcomings. This design, however, addresses some of the major oversights in order to become a versatile dish that will last a lifetime. Not only does the Joseph Joseph Slice & Serve have a reversible board, one side has grooves to make cutting easier and crumbs not so messy. What really makes the breadboard stand out, however, is the built-in bowl that can serve butter, dips and more. Overall, it offers a great way to serve this appetizer. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Multipurpose Serving Platters:** Opportunity for designing serving platters that offer versatility and address the shortcomings of traditional trays. - **Integrated Functional Design:** Space-saving designs with built-in features, such as a built-in bowl, that enhance the functionality of everyday items. - **Improved Food Presentation:** Innovations in presentation tools, like grooves in cutting boards, that make food preparation and serving more visually appealing. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Kitchenware:** Opportunity for kitchenware manufacturers to create multi-functional products that enhance the cooking and serving experience. - **Home Décor:** Opportunity for home décor companies to create aesthetically pleasing serving platters that enhance the overall presentation of food. - **Hospitality:** Opportunity for the hospitality industry to enhance the dining experience by incorporating innovative serving platters that are both functional and visually appealing. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Intricate Wooden Serving Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-serving-board.md) - [Hybrid Serving Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/viking-acacia.md) - [Multifunctional Kitchen Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/latticeboard-multipurpose-kitchen-board.md) - [Artsy Serving Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecoresin-accented-cheese-and-charcuterie-serving-boards.md) - [Cheese-Shaped Charcuterie Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cheese-block-with-knife.md) - [Lazy Susan Charcuterie Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-on-board-lazy-susan.md) - [Minimalist Preparation Cutting Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mudra-cutting-board.md) - [Design-Conscious Butcher Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caraway-prep-serve-butcher-block.md) - [Expandable Construction Cutting Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flexiboard.md)
