This is a premium cutting board brand that merges traditional Korean aesthetics with advanced materials and patented technology. Using a 4mm thick TPU base, each cutting board is lightweight, durable, and designed with a unique interior graphic layer that is visible through its transparent surface, making it both visually appealing and functionally superior.
This product line has gained significant attention internationally for its elegant and cultural approach. Inspired by Korean elements such as hanji (traditional paper), hanbok patterns, and licensed artwork from renowned local artists, the boards also feature graphics created in collaboration with developmentally disabled artists through the Holt Foundation. This initiative has been praised as a pioneering example of inclusive product design and successful commercial application.
The TPU material developed in-house is eco-friendly and certified as safe for human use. It provides a soft yet elastic surface that minimizes knife marks and absorbs impact gently, offering a comfortable cutting experience without the harsh vibration common with wood or plastic boards. Furthermore, MADELEN’s patented RPU layer enhances durability, ensuring the surface remains smooth even after extended use.
The design focus is particularly attuned to female preferences, combining practicality with visual elegance. Each board can be customized in size, shape, and artwork, allowing for seasonal upgrades and personalized product lines. Unlike mass-produced low-cost boards, MADELEN stands out with a refined finish, cultural significance, and exceptional performance.
MADELEN made a successful debut at the 2024 Maison & Objet exhibition in France. Despite being its first international appearance, the brand received positive feedback and initial orders from global buyers, positioning it as a promising player in the premium kitchenware market.
