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.
