Index Mk 4 – Joseph Joseph Ltd

The latest version of the Index chopping board range which was launched in 2017. Index Mk 4 has been value engineered to reduce material both in the boards and the case.

Index was one of the first ideas proposed to Joseph Joseph after we started working with them. Based around the colour coding system used in professional kitchens in Europe, we wanted to package the concept of food safety in a friendly and accessible way.

Having decided on four categories for the boards (meat, fish, cooked and vegetables), we designed 4 icons that contributed to the friendly feel. The tabs (and name) were inspired by old index recipe card files many people used to keep in their kitchens.

Since being launched in 2008, Index has become one of the best selling housewares products worldwide, spawning numerous variations in the Joseph Joseph range.
