Berard Olive WoodNotice the lighter hue to their products, akin to a gorgeous red-head vs an equally gorgeous blonde; the same yet different. Berard truly understands how best to create beautiful utilitarian products from olive wood by utilizing its irregular grain, veining and knots. Respect for its origin, the forest, right through to recycling; these are long-standing values at Berard. The result is a timeless, unique-unto-itself, treasure to personally cherish, or to proudly present as a uniquely memorable gift. Consider these products as you ponder your next "gift giving challenge". |
Only Mother Nature could provide the material, only Berard could create this masterpiece. Imagine running your hands over those irregular edges. What a pity if they'd been honed off. Not a chance with these craftsmen. Designed as a bread basket, there are a multitude of alternative uses out there. You'll think of some, we know. Approximate natural measurements: 14" x 3.5" Extra-Mile Idea: Pick up a warm loaf of artisan bread just before the gift-giving. Be sure it's wrapped in brown paper and secured in butcher's twine. MOST IMPRESSIVE! | ||
When I first held this in my hands, I caught myself purring. A smooth, organic, and a lovely addition to any urban space. Extra-Mile Idea: Include a box of our Guerande gray salt, top-of-the-line, very French, very thoughtful. | ||
Extra-Mile Idea: Wrap up a generous jar of cerignola or nicoise olives for instant gratification. Mmm... | ||
