The Orée Board
5th July 2013
Wooden keyboards are nothing new but French hardware startup Orée is hoping to bring a bit of warmth to homes and offices with its wireless offering: Board.
Each keyboard is made from a single piece of maple or walnut and can be laser etched with different illustrations and fonts. The design is clean, well-proportioned and takes advantage of the unique properties of wood. Each Board is unique, featuring different wood grains and textures and must feel incredibly natural to type on.
