Le Billot XS ST OUEN

The "Le" Billot XS is the most concentrated expression of the ST OUEN philosophy: that scale is insignificant in the face of character. At just 40 × 40 cm, it is the most portable piece in the collection—and yet it bears the same curvaceous silhouette, the same conviction of end-grain hornbeam, and the same artisanal precision as its larger siblings.

A solid end-grain hornbeam top offers a resilient, self-healing cutting surface that professional chefs and passionate home cooks have trusted for centuries. Below, a soft-close drawer keeps a knife, a peeler, or a few essential spices within reach, while two open shelves provide additional storage for bowls, bottles, or cooking oils. The proportions are considered: 91 cm high, at the perfect prep height without requiring a step stool or awkward effort.

Crafted in solid Oak and veneer with chrome-plated brass hardware, the XS is available in a selection of De Kercoet finishes, or customized to your color upon request, with accents in brushed brass or polished stainless steel. Optional casters add mobility for those who prefer to roll it from kitchen to terrace; a towel bar offers an additional point of utility. Bespoke dimensions and a fixed-height version without casters are available upon request.

As an auxiliary station next to a larger island, a dedicated herb-cutting block by the window, or a standalone piece in a small outdoor kitchen, the "Le" Billot XS proves that small gestures, precisely executed, leave the deepest impression.
