Handcrafted one at a time from solid American black walnut, Roundabout is a sculptural knife block designed with the restraint and confidence of mid-century modern furniture. Its curved, bridge-like silhouette is coopered and carefully faired by hand, then finished to a quiet satin sheen that highlights the natural depth and chatoyance of the walnut.

This is not a countertop accessory disguised as décor; it’s functional art built with the same care and proportions as fine furniture. Every radius is intentional, every surface softened by hours of hand sanding, resulting in a piece that feels refined from every angle.

Sculptural mid-century form with a gentle, flowing arc
Coopered solid walnut construction, shaped and finished entirely by hand
