Ute Australian Design
Led by Product Designer Kain Lucas, Ute manufactures Australian designed products with a focus on utilitarian application. The name "Ute" is a simple abbreviation of the word "utilitarian", and is a uniquely Australian word which captures the spirit, belief, and focus of the company. The Ute Australia philosophy is to create products that are beautiful in design, while maintaining a focus on simple functionality.

Their motto is "Design that Works", and the designs, whilst being utilitarian by nature, display a high level of aesthetic refinement and quality.

Ute is not in the business of producing products that fit with current fashion and trends; instead they focus on products that possess timeless appeal through their honest, simple and creative design and well considered approach to material selection.

I bought this cutting board several years ago and it gets so much use! It works great as a food prep board but even better as a cheese or antipasto platter. Whenever I bring it out people comment about how great it is.
