In short: DuneDesign is a home goods brand owned by the German company OmniDeal, based in Hürth near Cologne, with a strong taste for bamboo. At Raclette Club, we review its set of six raclette boards with a sauce bowl.

The brand in a nutshell
DuneDesign has no website of its own: it is sold through the online shop of its owner, OmniDeal GmbH & Co. KG, which lists it among “our brands”. OmniDeal is also named as the manufacturer on the Amazon.fr listing for the boards. The company describes itself as an importer of low-priced consumer products. According to its website, it all started in 1988 in a 6 m² office in Overath; today the head office is in Hürth, near Cologne, with about 5,500 m² of halls. Since 2008, an office in Taiwan has managed its production in China, Taiwan, India, Korea, Indonesia and Europe. For the raclette boards, Amazon.fr gives China as the country of origin. So a German brand, designed and sold from Germany, but made in Asia.
On the official shop, the DuneDesign range runs to about 80 items. Bamboo takes centre stage: chopping boards, breakfast boards, steak boards with a dip bowl. The rest is a rather cheerful mix, from felt cushions for beer benches to storage baskets. For raclette, there are sets of 30 x 25 cm boards with a bowl for 2, 4 or 6 people, and sets of 30 x 22 cm boards that come with spatulas and a small compartment to store them.

What we think
On paper, DuneDesign ticks the right boxes for a raclette board: 2 cm of solid bamboo, a juice groove, a stainless steel bowl, and a 30 x 25 cm format that works as a real plate. The care instructions are clear: warm water, mild detergent, a little oil now and then, and never the dishwasher.
The weak point is the documentation. No warranty period is given, and the listings have a few slips: the set of six mentions two bowls while the official photo shows six. Amazon.fr, for its part, lists “grill plate, pan, spatula” among the components, which the manufacturer’s description never mentions. A good product on paper, then, but a listing to read with a pencil in hand.
Which model should you choose?
- For 6: the set of 6 bamboo boards, one plate and one bowl per guest.
- For 2 or 4: the same boards come in sets of 2 and 4 on the brand’s shop, not reviewed here yet.
- To store the spatulas: the 30 x 22 cm sets with spatulas and a compartment, also on the brand’s shop.
- For simple rests: the 8 Kesper acacia boards, smaller and easier to store.
