The NFC chip · your board’s story

A board you buy
has a price.
A board you build
has a story.

Your board carries an NFC chip. Tap it with a phone and it speaks for you: who built it, where, who stood beside you and the wood it was born from. Today it tells how it started. Tomorrow it will tell everything it lives with you.

01
What it tells.

Your name, the place, the shaper who guided you, the model and the Paulownia it’s made of. Its birth certificate, in wood and in code.

02
What it will tell.

Every session, every trip, every wave worth remembering. The board keeps the story; you decide which chapters it writes.

03
What you become part of.

Your board joins a network of boards built by hand, each with its name, its place and its people. Yours too — with your name inside.
