French design group orée have created a new wireless wooden keyboard that has been built using a single piece of wood to maintain the orientation of the grain throughout every key.
The orée board 2 wooden keyboard is equipped with Bluetooth connectivity and is constructed from either premium maple walnut wood.
The single piece of wood is then deconstructed by orée’s craftsmen into three separate pieces that are then crafted into the keyboard and fitted with tech that is capable of allowing the wireless keyboard to connect to up to 5 devices.
Our Board 2 has an invisible (matte) food-safe varnish that protects against casual stains like finger oil or water spills. To clean it, use a clean cloth slightly humidified with clear water. Do not use any detergent, polishing or wax.
Unlike standard keyboards, the letters are engraved into the wood so they don’t peel off. The wood color will evolve slightly over time as it takes its natural patina. The Orée Board will only work with Bluetooth-enabled Windows, Mac, iOS or Android devices. If your Windows computer does not embed Bluetooth, you may purchase our elegant wooden Bluetooth dongle available.
The orée board 2 is available to purchase from €150 and can be customised to your exotic requirements for a little more. For more information on the new orée board 2 jump over to the orée website for full details and customisation prices.
