Hazuto Cutting And Serving Board

Hazuto Cutting and Serving Board is an innovative kitchen implement that reimagines the traditional cutting board through a sophisticated fusion of natural wood and industrial design elements. Designed by Tom Chan and Melanie Man, this versatile culinary tool represents a significant advancement in kitchen accessories through its integration of form and function. The board's construction features premium Black Walnut wood, chosen for its optimal Janka hardness index of 1010, which provides an ideal balance between knife preservation and surface durability. A distinguishing characteristic is its brushed food-grade 304 stainless steel rim, which serves both aesthetic and functional purposes by preventing warping while providing protection against impacts. The board's dimensions of 230 x 14 x 325 millimeters are carefully calculated to accommodate urban kitchen spaces while maintaining practical utility for small family use. The design's innovative features include a negative corner space that functions as a hanging hook, and strategically placed screws that not only reinforce the structure but also contribute to its industrial aesthetic. The contrast between the warm, dark tones of the walnut and the austere stainless steel creates a compelling visual dialogue, while the seamless integration of the metal rim demonstrates exceptional craftsmanship, particularly in the invisible welding at the corners. This Bronze A' Design Award-winning creation in the Bakeware, Tableware, Drinkware and Cookware Design category exemplifies how thoughtful design can elevate everyday kitchen tools into objects of both practical utility and aesthetic value.
