Plain
Boards

These cutting boards serve as useful everyday companions and additionally embellish your kitchen. The circle shaped handles are perfect to carry them around or to hang them on the wall, making a nice arrangement through a geometrical pattern. Decorative and functional at the same time!

Variations

Available in a medium size with a 3/4 black ring and a large version with half a ring on both sides.

Transparency of the production chain comes naturally to us.

For us, that doesn't just mean giving information about where something has been produced. Our chain starts much earlier: with the designer of the product!

We'll tell you the whole story. Click on the buttons to discover the different steps:

The Plain Boards were designed by Hanne Willmann. Hanne is a product designer based in Berlin. For her Design , she focuses primarily on Furniture, Lighting , and Accessories. Experimenting with different materials and their countless combinations forms the basis of all her work.

Hanne Willmann

"With an open mind and a strong dedication to the craft I am determined to fully reveal the essence of every piece I come across. My products share a great deal of individuality and confidence, yet retain their modesty.”

Hanne Willmann

The Plain Boards have been part of the Vij5 collection since 2019. At Vij5 we like to tell stories through our products. But we also understand that sometimes you just need beautiful, functional products without a complicated concept. Made with high quality materials and touched by a good designer. Simple, functional, everyday products to complement the more experimental and conceptual eye catchers in our collection and at your home. The Plain Boards are just that.

"The Plain Boards complement the more experimental and conceptual eye-catchers in our collection and at your home."

The Plain Boards are a practical addition to the distinctive Prägen Boards that Hanne Willmann designed for Vij5 in 2017. The cutting boards are inspired by the design language of the existing Prägen Boards, but unlike the presentation boards, they do not have an embossed side. This makes them ideal as functional cutting boards.

The Plain Boards are made of beech wood, a relatively softer type of wood that is ideally suited for keeping knives in good condition. Beech wood also has anti-bacterial properties. The Plain Boards are treated with rapeseed oil so they are ready to use.
