# Crenulated Cutting Boards The Pragma Breadboard Has a Corrugated Surface for Catching Crumbs By Amelia Roblin | Published 2014-03-09 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pragma-breadboard References: [mocoloco](http://mocoloco.com/fresh2/2014/03/05/pragma-breadboardknife-set-by-valentin-bussard.php) & [bussard-design.blogspot](http://bussard-design.blogspot.ca) Before the Pragma Breadboard, had you ever set eyes on a [chopping board](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caraway-prep-serve-butcher-block) that wasn't generally flat? It's fascinating that such a design should arise, given how completely different it is to the archetype. What Valentin Bussard suggests is an obviously uneven surface made up of sectionally triangular wooden sticks. Rows of these are adhered to both sides of a steel sheet, helping it to maintain stiffness. Nestled within one jagged groove of the Pragma Breadboard is a [serrated knife](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-task-knife) with a squared timber handle that blends in beautifully. When you go to slice your loaves on this cutting board, you'll notice that the [crumbs collect between these ribs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triangle-cuts), making the food preparation process a bit tidier. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.9/10 - Popularity: 100% | Activity: 98% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Crenulated Cutting Boards:** Innovative designs for cutting boards with uneven surfaces made of sectionally triangular wooden sticks that collects crumbs during use. - **Serrated Knife Handles:** Incorporating squared timber handles that blend in with the uneven surface of the cutting board for added functionality and style. - **Corrugated Kitchen Tools:** Exploring the use of corrugated surfaces in other kitchen gadgets for improved functionality in food preparation. ### Where This Applies - **Kitchenware:** Companies in the kitchenware industry can benefit from incorporating these innovative designs in their products to stand out in a crowded market. - **Home Decor and Furnishings:** Designers in the home decor and furnishings industry can create unique pieces using the crenulated surface design to add both function and form to different furnishings. - **Industrial Materials:** Industries that deal with industrial materials can find new applications for similar innovative designs in various industries that require rigid surfaces with non-slip properties. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [High-Performance Cutting Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-steelport-steelcore.md) - [Intricate Wooden Serving Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-serving-board.md) - [Multifunctional Kitchen Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/latticeboard-multipurpose-kitchen-board.md) - [Portable Knife-Equipped Cutting Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baca-board.md) - [Cheese-Shaped Charcuterie Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cheese-block-with-knife.md) - [Expandable Construction Cutting Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flexiboard.md) - [Multifunctional Serving Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/convertible-serving-board-trio.md) - [Intelligent Preparation Cutting Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/4t7-smart-chopping-board.md) - [Heavy-Duty Cutting Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epicurean-bbq-board.md)
