About this item

"Giorgiana and Miloika Penon design this carving board made of teak wood, showing off its beautiful grain, and polishing it with beeswax to give it luster. The board has four grooves in the center and a groove around the border to capture juices, and a circle cutout at one corner for easy handling. The Costa Rican artisans recommend occasionally polishing the wood with any edible oil to maintain a soft sheen."

Giorgiana and Miloika Penon

"Miloika had been working as an interior designer for 15 years and has worked with many prestigious design firms. In 2011, I had been working on a design project with university students in a town known for its colorful carts and beautiful handcrafts. We saw that the people there had extraordinary woodworking skills.

"We realized that we could help them design items that they could sell to international shoppers at better prices than the souvenirs they currently crafted. I decided to create designs that could be used in the home.

"Miloika joined me in this project and fell in love with it. We've formed a wonderful team with the artisans and we're growing together. This project is a solid one that has helped many people in the community.

"By introducing modern, utilitarian designs, our goals continue to grow and the artisans are becoming known."
