MUUBS Yami Cheese Board

The MUUBS Yami Cheese Board brings a sculptural quality to the table, pairing a softly rounded form with the deep, tonal character of carbonised ash. Closely spaced linear grooves run across the surface, introducing rhythm and texture while allowing the natural grain of the timber to remain visible beneath the dark finish. Its warm brown-black colouring sits comfortably alongside stoneware, linen and other natural materials, with a restrained expression that draws on Scandinavian and Japanese design sensibilities. Designed for serving cheese and small accompaniments, it has enough visual presence to remain on display between uses.

Design Details

• Carbonised ash gives the board its deep, variegated brown finish while retaining visible timber grain.
• Repeated carved grooves create a strong linear texture across the softly rounded form.
• Food-safe construction with a substantial 18mm profile suited to serving and presentation.

Why It Works

• The dark timber creates grounded contrast against pale ceramics, natural linen and lighter oak or ash surfaces.
• Its rounded outline softens the regularity of the linear carving, giving the piece a balanced, graphic quality.
• Works particularly well as part of a restrained tabletop arrangement where material and texture take precedence over ornament.

FAQs

How should I prepare the Yami Cheese Board before first use?
Apply cooking oil with a dry cloth and allow it to absorb into the ash for around 30 minutes. Wipe away any excess with a clean, dry cloth before use.

How should the carbonised ash be cleaned?
Wash by hand using warm soapy water, then dry immediately. Do not soak the board or place it in the dishwasher, and avoid storing it close to a direct heat source.

Does carbonised ash have a noticeable smell?
The carbonisation process can give the timber a characteristic scent when new. This will gradually diminish with use.
