S/lab Larch Wood Cutting Board
$420
Gessato
Cut straight from the trunk, S/LAB keeps the essence of the tree intact. This larch wood cutting board from KnIndustrie doesn’t reinterpret tradition—it commits to it. Designed as a raw, circular cross-section, the piece reveals its origins without filter: exposed growth rings, visible age, natural grain, slight irregularities. The steel band that runs its perimeter isn’t decorative—it’s structural, reinforcing the board while framing its elemental shape. At 40 cm in diameter, S/LAB is large, weighty, and stable. It turns daily prep into something more grounded. The surface—dense but forgiving—preserves your knife’s edge far better than plastic or overly hard composites. As the blade moves across the end grain, the fibers gently give and close back up, keeping things sharp and clean. Larchwood is naturally antibacterial, moisture-resistant, and built to last if cared for well. Over time, it gains character. Oil it, use it, leave it out on the counter—this is the board that gets better the more you work with it. A piece that speaks less of trends, more of permanence.
