Meet woodfiber — the innovative material at the core of our products

Unlike plastic or stone, woodfiber composite offers a lighter, more sustainable way to design for everyday use. It’s non-porous, resistant to bacteria and mold, knife-friendly, dishwasher-safe, and has been a trusted choice in commercial kitchens since 1962.

Our woodfiber composite boards are sourced from responsible suppliers, creating products that are both beautifully tactile and built to last.
