Cheese Board with Knife, Small
Jens Quistgaard
The teak bar board likes things a certain way. A concave side catches the juice from lemons and limes; the flat side is for cheese. The knife slides into the board when the cutting’s done. A little particular, but sure can throw a party.
Designed by Jens Quistgaard in 1962, the bar board became one of Dansk’s best-selling teak designs, with an estimated half a million produced by 1970. Dansk’s collection of teak bowls, boards, pepper mills, and serving pieces helped make the wood a defining presence on the midcentury American table. This dual-sided board’s end-grain butcher-block construction creates a distinctive patchwork surface that’s gentle on the blade and extremely durable.
