Why You’ll Love It

The Maison & White raised platform elevates food above the flat table surface to create height variation in a spread, drawing attention to the platter and making the food on it more visible and accessible to guests seated around the table than food presented on a flat board at table level — Flat serving boards and platters present food at the same height as the surrounding crockery, cutlery and glasses on the table, which makes the board blend into the overall table setting and reduces the visual prominence of the food displayed on it, particularly for guests seated further away who may not be able to see over taller items in front of the board — the raised height of this Maison & White platter lifts the food above the surrounding table items so it is visible from further around the table and creates a visual focal point in the centre of the spread that draws guests toward it.
The Maison & White plant oil coating seals the surface of the acacia wood to reduce moisture absorption during use with food and liquids, extending the working life of the board by slowing the warping, cracking and splitting that untreated or poorly finished hardwood boards develop after repeated exposure to food moisture during serving — Untreated acacia wood serving boards absorb moisture from wet foods, sauces and condensation during use, which causes the wood fibres to expand unevenly across the surface and leads to warping, surface cracking and joint separation over time as the board dries out between uses and the fibres contract again — the plant oil coating on this Maison & White platter penetrates the surface of the acacia and fills the pores in the grain, reducing the rate at which moisture enters the wood during use and slowing the expansion and contraction cycle that causes untreated boards to warp and split with regular use.
The Maison & White flat-pack construction reduces the storage footprint of the platter to a fraction of its assembled height when it is not in use, making it practical to store in a standard kitchen cupboard alongside flat cutting boards and trays without requiring a dedicated shelf space equal to the full 17cm assembled height — Fixed-construction raised serving platters and tiered boards cannot be disassembled and must be stored at their full assembled height, which requires a cupboard shelf or storage area with sufficient clearance above it to accommodate the full height of the piece regardless of how infrequently it is used — the flat-pack design of this Maison & White platter allows the legs and platform to be separated and stored flat, reducing the total height of the stored components to the thickness of the individual flat pieces and allowing them to be slid alongside other flat kitchen items in a standard cupboard or drawer.
