MacBook Pro used as a benchmark for the design of a…cutting board

Add as a preferred source on Google

The MacBook Pro has no doubt inspired many to create all sorts of art, from videos, to illustrations, to much more. However, this is the first time we’ve seen Apple’s flagship laptop inspire an outfit to create something that’s meant for use in the kitchen.

That’s right, we said the kitchen.

Check out the Apple Wood Cutting Board, which, as you can see from the photo above, takes design cues straight from the MacBook Pro, right down to the gap between the display and the base when the laptop’s lid is closed. It even wears half of Apple’s logo on top. We assume that only half appears in order to avoid any legal tangles with Cupertino.

One of the criticisms commonly lobbed at Apple centers around the price of its products, and though the Apple Wood Cutting Board isn’t made by the tech giant, it’s sure priced at a point which suggests it is. You’ll need to shell out $110 to get your hands on an Apple Wood Cutting Board.

We can’t help but wonder whether “hankejh” will put out more home-centric stuff that takes after Apple’s tech.

What do you think? Sound off in the comments below.

WhatsApp has been steadily adopting Apple's new design language across its apps, but Mac users have largely been left watching from the sidelines. That is finally beginning to change.

The messaging platform has started rolling out its Liquid Glass redesign for the WhatsApp Mac app, bringing the desktop experience much closer to what iPhone and iPad users have been seeing over the past few months. The update introduces a refreshed interface with redesigned navigation elements, updated menus, and a cleaner layout that aligns with Apple's latest software aesthetic.
