Objects Of Design #231: Leather Strap Breadboard

perfect for warm bread straight from the oven

Winter means warm comforting food, which often means hearty soups and stews. I am not a massive fan of soup but I love heating a loaf of bread in the oven and spreading it with unsalted butter and I’m also a sucker for a well-presented table so these bread boards with leather handles would probably persuade me to eat soup in a roundabout sort of way.

They’d also look great when friends come round for dinner with bread or charcuterie laid out for pre-dinner nibbles and, when not in use, you can just hang them on the wall. The large one is about 48cm long and 20 wide so it’s perfect for a table centrepiece.
