Proper use

Old cutting board

I found this chopping board in my girlfriend’s kitchen. She said her dad has had it longer than her. What I love is it’s surface is basically a map of how it was used; wear from a product that is still in perfect working order after being used nearly every day for more than 20 years. There is still a tiny part of the print in the top left which leads me to believe that suze’s dad is right handed.

Anyway, this thing reminded me that there are still plenty of things I love about product design; things and how people use them.
