β-Carotene (C₄₀H₅₆) is an organic pigment belonging to the carotenoid family. Its structure is based on a long π-conjugated system, responsible for its absorption in the blue-violet region of the visible spectrum (approximately 450–480 nm), giving rise to its characteristic orange color. As a precursor of vitamin A, β-carotene plays a crucial role in vision, protection against oxidative stress, and many biological processes. Here, it becomes a visual trace of that vital function, transforming a biological molecule into a luminous mineral landscape.
The design of this glass cutting board is created directly from genuine crystals of pure β-carotene, observed at approximately 100× magnification under polarized light microscopy.
This tempered glass cutting board brings warmth, texture, and scientific elegance into the kitchen. The surface is lightly textured for improved grip and printed using a durable process that preserves vibrant colors even with regular use. Four rubber feet provide stability during food preparation or serving, while the non-porous tempered glass surface offers a more hygienic alternative to wood or plastic. Choose the smaller size for compact workspaces or the larger format for additional preparation space. Both are easy to clean (hand wash recommended). Robust yet visually striking, this cutting board can also serve as a presentation tray, bringing warmth and character to any table.
Durable scratch-resistant print with long-lasting vibrant colors
