Crafted from solid acacia and paired with a cultured marble base in black or white, it features strong hidden magnets on both sides to hold knives securely while preserving visual clarity.
Each piece arrives in an elegant flat presentation box that highlights the raw materials in a clean, architectural layout. Setup is quick and intuitive, with all tools included.
A refined, functional piece for cooks who value calm design and everyday usability.
