Anthracite wooden clipboard – birch plywood, A3–A6

Piles of paper on the desk, a checklist flapping about in the workshop, a menu that needs something to hold it: a clipboard brings order to moments like these. This wooden board in anthracite keeps your papers firmly together. Use it as a writing surface on the go, at reception or at the counter. The calm, dark grey shade is so understated that it looks as if it were made for your workplace.

What changes for you

• You can write comfortably without a table, even standing or walking. The 3mm birch plywood gives you a firm, flat writing surface.
• Your notes, forms or menus stay right where they are. The clip holds the paper securely.
• You'll find the right size for every purpose. Choose from the small A6 board for your pocket up to the large A3 clipboard, each in portrait or landscape.
• Your reception, practice or workshop looks tidier. The anthracite wooden board is calm and plain and doesn't push itself into the foreground.
• You can give the board your own style. Choose a spring clip or wire clip in eight colours. Some versions come with a pen holder.

Why this clipboard makes a difference every day

You can tell a good clipboard by the fact that you stop thinking about it. The paper stays put, the board sits steadily in your hand and nothing slips. Instead of loose sheets, you have a firm base. It goes with you from a walk round the premises to a chat at the counter. And because wood feels warmer than plastic, the board is pleasant to hold even after hours.

Material & finish

The clipboard is made from 3mm birch plywood. It is very sturdy and robust, yet light enough to hold all day. The surface has two coats of hard-wearing water-based clear lacquer. This keeps it smooth and able to cope with everyday use. Every board is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia. It is neatly finished and has rounded corners. Wood is a purely natural material. Differences in shade, small knots and slight irregularities in the grain are normal. They make each piece one of a kind and are not a defect. The grain can run horizontally or vertically. If you'd like a particular direction, just get in touch with us briefly.

How to use the clipboard

• In the office as a writing board for notes and forms: take the board with you into meetings. You can write anywhere without looking for a table.
• In restaurants and cafés as a menu holder: the menu sits firmly in the clip and looks carefully presented. When the daily menu changes, you can swap it in seconds.
• As a script holder on stage or in front of the camera: your script, presenter cards or speech stay together. The sturdy wood sits steadily in your hand.
• In practices, workshops and at reception: checklists and routing slips hang neatly on the board. The dark grey shade blends in discreetly with its surroundings.
• On the go as a compact writing surface in A5 or A6: take notes standing up, on your rounds or at the market. Nothing creases and nothing blows away.

Good to know about the clipboard

Plywood is made of several layers of wood glued crosswise. This means it warps much less than solid wood of the same thickness. That's why this clipboard can be just 3mm thin and light, yet still keep its shape. This helps if you hold it every day or use lots of boards at work.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. Simply wipe the lacquered surface with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid constant moisture and harsh cleaning products. That way the birch plywood keeps its smooth surface for a long time, and the anthracite shade keeps its calm look.
