The cutting board. Reimagined.

Made from recycled wood fiber, this material combines the best properties of wood while overcoming its weaknesses. It is dishwasher-safe, knife-friendly, and hygienic. Oiling, chemicals, and compromises are unnecessary.

The calm, minimalist surface blends seamlessly into any kitchen – it doesn't just fit, it belongs there.

The matte, textured surface provides grip and is forgiving of cuts. It can be used on both sides and, at 0.6 cm thick, is slim enough for any drawer, yet sturdy enough for any use.

Small – 23.5 × 30 cm | 0.6 kg | For quick preparations.

Medium – 27.5 × 37 cm | 0.8 kg | For daily use.

Large – 32.5 × 44 cm | 1.1 kg | For large surfaces, guests or ambitious cooking.

A material that lasts – and demands nothing in return.

The surface self-heals fine cuts, preserving your blades. It resists odors and discoloration, is temperature-resistant, and naturally antibacterial. Oiling and elaborate cleaning are not necessary – just put it in the dishwasher.

Free shipping, worldwide.

Every board is carefully inspected before it leaves our premises. We ship within one business day, delivery time is 5-10 business days depending on the region.

daano is not a short-lived purchase, but an investment in a board that you won't have to replace every few months. The price reflects the high-quality craftsmanship, the materials used, and the exceptional longevity – not just at the time of purchase, but for many years to come.
While wooden cutting boards are gentle on knives, they require a lot of care. Plastic cutting boards are easy to clean but release microplastics. daano combines the advantages of both materials: it is dishwasher-safe, gentle on knives, and hygienic, without the disadvantages of wood or plastic.
The small size (23.5 x 30 cm) is perfect for small kitchens, quick preparations, and everyday use. The medium size (27.5 x 37 cm) is the most versatile and best suited for daily use. The large size (32.5 x 44 cm) is ideal if you cook frequently, need more workspace, or work with larger knives.
Not at all. That's the point. No oiling, no special treatment. Rinse after use or put it in the dishwasher. Done.
Yes, the surface was specifically designed to be gentle on blades, even with daily use. Fine cut marks close up on their own. It is suitable for both Japanese and European knives.
Rinse briefly or put in the dishwasher. Odors and discolorations do not stick.
Each board is carefully inspected and made ready for dispatch within one working day. Delivery time is 5-10 working days, depending on your region. Once your board is on its way, you will receive a tracking number.
60-day return policy. Plus a 10-year quality guarantee on materials and workmanship. If something isn't right, contact us – we'll find a solution.

Unsere Geschichte

Die kluge Entscheidung.

Die Wahl des richtigen Schneidebretts kann eine knifflige Angelegenheit sein. Holzbretter dürfen nicht in die Spülmaschine, Kunststoffbretter hinterlassen Mikroplastik, Bambusbretter können Messer schädigen, Metallbretter machen Lärm und Glasbretter können Klingen ruinieren. Jede Option hat ihre Nachteile, und keine davon schien wirklich zufriedenstellend zu sein.

Anstatt uns mit dem besten Brett auf dem Markt zufriedenzugeben, haben wir uns auf die Suche nach dem Brett gemacht, das es hätte geben sollen. Nach zwei Jahren, 240 Flügen und unzähligen Tests haben wir es endlich gefunden – bei einem kleinen Familienbetrieb, der unsere Werte teilt.

Wir haben es daano genannt, ein persisches Wort, das „Kern“ oder „das Wesentliche“ bedeutet. Es steht für unsere Philosophie, Produkte zu schaffen, die den Kern deines Alltags bilden und so durchdacht sind, dass sie keine Fragen offenlassen.

Sustainability as a Foundation

We choose materials that already exist instead of claiming new resources. We design products for a long lifespan, as we value longer use over frequent replacement. This leads to less production, transport, and waste. And perhaps the most sustainable decision: a product that doesn't need to be repurchased. For every board sold, we plant a tree – not as a promotion, but as a principle.

"I initially found the price a bit high, but that quickly became relative in everyday use. I wanted a board that I didn't have to constantly worry about, and that's exactly what I get here. It feels high-quality, looks soothing, and simply makes everyday cooking much less complicated."

"For me, it was really important that I didn't have to oil or elaborately treat a wooden board anymore. I use it almost daily, and this ease of care was precisely why I kept it. It's one of those products you simply don't have to think about after purchasing."

"I was really concerned about whether it would actually feel premium in person. And you know what? It does! The surface has a nice, refined touch, the board looks sleek sitting on the counter, and it definitely doesn’t feel like just a temporary kitchen gadget. It truly feels like a product you’ve chosen with intention."

"I really enjoy cooking, and for me, good knives are an absolute must. The cutting board feels pleasant to work on and is thoughtfully designed, without being too delicate. This perfect blend of everyday usability and a great cutting feel was the decisive factor for me."

"What really won me over wasn’t just one standout feature, but the sheer simplicity of using it day in and day out. There’s no need for a special routine, no extra fuss, and definitely no feeling like I have to coddle it. For a kitchen gadget, that kind of effortless convenience is truly priceless."

Emily R.

"I specifically looked for something that would bring me long-term joy and wouldn't need to be replaced after a short time. The board perfectly embodies that. It doesn't feel like a compromise between functionality and design, but rather like a well-thought-out, sustainable decision."

Verified Customer

"When it comes to strong ingredients like onions, garlic, or beetroot, I didn't want a board that would immediately suffer or absorb odors. In everyday use, it's much easier than I'm used to from other boards. Especially after several cooking sessions, that makes a huge difference."

Daniel K.

Verified Customer

"I live in a cozy little apartment with a small kitchen, so I’m pretty particular about what I keep on the counter. This cutting board actually enhances the space instead of making it feel cluttered. I was pleasantly surprised by that, since most cutting boards tend to be either functional or aesthetically pleasing—rarely both!"

Lauren C.

Verified Customer

"What really convinced me was not just the product itself, but the entire coherent overall impression. Material, handling, design, and use harmonize perfectly with each other. It's not an intrusive product, but one that subtly shows its quality in everyday life."

Felix J.

Frankfurt am Main, Germany

Verified Customer

"I tend to dive into the critical reviews first because I’m a bit skeptical of products that seem too perfect. What really caught my attention with this one is that you can see the benefits with regular use: it’s straightforward, clean, and requires minimal effort. That’s ultimately what made it feel worth the price.“
