Some serving pieces hold the food. This one presents it. Santa Barbara Design Studio cuts a full 11 inch round of solid mango wood, engraves it with the easygoing French shrug of C'est la vie (that's life), and sets it 2 inches off the table on whitewashed wood feet, so the brie, the fruit and the little desserts sit raised above the table like a caterer arranged them. Mango grain runs warm and varied, and no two boards repeat it, which means the board does half the styling before the first thing lands on it. Use it as a cheese board tonight, a dessert riser on the weekend and a standing centerpiece in between, and remember it the next time a hostess, housewarming or wedding gift needs to look like more thought than it took. The maker's care routine is one step: hand wipe with a damp cloth.
