But this \u003cstrong\u003eframed cutting board\u003c\/strong\u003e takes a different approach. It has two design zones: a bold border and a multi-wood centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's what makes the frame design stand out:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVisual focus:\u003c\/strong\u003e First, the dark purple border draws the eye inward. So, the centre pattern feels like the main attraction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo-zone aesthetic:\u003c\/strong\u003e Also, you get two different visual experiences in one board.
