Every surfacehas a story.Ours starts with a pit.

Cyprus presses olives every autumn. The pits were a problem.

Formed in Cyprus, we transform discarded olive pits into table tops, cutting down organic waste while offering a fresh alternative to conventional worktops.

When we started our journey from the island, our goal has been to inspire the global design community and invite people into meaningful, sustainable action. We craft commercial panels under the name pit-board, blending striking visual storytelling with heritage, durability, and a premium finish.

Diversity is the spice of life.

Our work also brings Turkish and Greek Cypriot communities together through a shared agricultural resource, creating a rare example of cross-community collaboration through material innovation.

Since launching Pit-Board®, our work has been recognised through international design awards and supported by UNDP and European Union funding as we contribute towards a number of United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
