BO_ Chop Board: A Slab of Intent

In the kitchen, every tool carries a story.

Some are purely practical, others purely decorative. The BO_ Chop Board sits firmly in between: a slab of timber that is both functional and intentional, carrying the same design language as the rest of the BO_ Collection. 

It isn’t just for chopping. It is for grounding your daily rituals in craft, weight, and presence. Here are the reasons why you should have it in your kitchen: 

1. Design with Purpose

The BO_ Chop Board is designed by Simon Busse, the mind behind the wider BO_ Collection. His work often blends industrial details with warm materiality, using elements like cable ties not as afterthoughts but as defining features. Here, that same philosophy translates into a piece that feels at once minimal and robust, designed to live with you for years to come.

“A slab of intent” captures it perfectly. This board is not shy, not fragile, not fleeting. It is thick, solid, and unapologetically built to last.

2. Three Sizes, Infinite Uses

The collection offers three distinct formats, each one tailored to a different rhythm in the kitchen:

• Small (S)– Ideal for herbs, citrus, and quick cuts. Compact enough to keep close at hand.

• Medium (M) – The everyday board, balancing scale and versatility.

• Large (L) – A serious presence, perfect for carving, serving, or anchoring a busy kitchen bench.

Each version shares the same 50 mm thickness, a detail that gives the board its character. It feels less like a thin utility surface and more like a block. One that resists wear, absorbs impact, and holds its place.

3. Material Integrity

Made from locally sourced timber, the board reflects the BO_ ethos of combining environmental responsibility with tactile quality. The cable tie, a recurring motif across the collection, appears here as a simple hanging solution, offering a small but thoughtful moment of practicality.

This approach ensures each board is not just another kitchen tool but a considered object. It is designed to age with grace, gathering knife marks and oil stains that tell a story rather than diminishing its value.

4. Functional Beauty

The Chop Board has presence. Its thickness and weight create a sense of permanence, while the simple silhouette keeps it easy to handle. It does not disappear into a cupboard. It asks to be seen, to be used, to be part of the space.

And while its function is obvious, its beauty lies in its editorial restraint. No unnecessary detailing, no extra flourish. Just timber, cable, and intent.

5. From Furniture to Kitchen

The BO_ Chop Board extends the same DNA as the collection’s furniture: flat-pack thinking, clever joinery, industrial honesty. It is an object that reminds us that design is not confined to chairs or tables. It belongs equally to the tools we touch every day.

By carrying forward the BO_ language into the kitchen, Simon Busse blurs the line between utility and design, proving that even the most ordinary object can be extraordinary when handled with care.

A Slab That Stays

Whether you reach for the small for quick prep, the medium for daily meals, or the large for generous entertaining, each BO_ Chop Board makes a statement: design is not decoration, it is intent.

This is not a board you will replace. It is one you will grow with, season after season.
