With the invention of Modern computing devices the style and the sleekness went away with the typewriter. Modern PC and other computer devices come with plastic keyboards and accessories that have replaced the wonderful chrome of the typewriters. It was only Apple that tried to bring some style back into computer devices; otherwise aesthetics were out of the domain of computers.
Recently Julien Salanave has come forward with wooden keyboards that are not only wireless and connect with Bluetooth but are sleek, stylish and wonderful to use. Made from the maple and walnut trees found in the Alps they are a wonderful amalgamation of oldest building material, wood with modern devices.
By bringing in Master Craftsman Christophe Della Signora and also France foremost design guru Franck Fontana, Salanave was able to bring about his own company Oree. Salanave was critical about the prominent use of plastic and aluminum in manufacturing computers and also highlighted their impact on the environment at the Humans Invent Blog.

He termed that the keyboards coming from Oree will be wireless and will not include the numerical keypad since it is made to be portable and to be connected with PCs and tablets. It is available in two variations that is walnut and maple and will be connected by a Bluetooth.
Della Signora is paramount in the manufacture of these keyboards due to his experience from becoming a Master Craftsman. To become a Master Craftsman or Compagnons you will have to travel across France for around fifteen years learning from numerous Master Craftsmen and learning their art and techniques. For that reason when the initial processes are done by using machines, Della Signora helps in the finishing processes when there is polishing, assembly and varnishing required which demand traditional and orthodox techniques.
Oree Keyboards are made from wood that is taken from the French Alps as Della Signora pointed it out to Salanave that it is the wood that will make the difference for which the French Alps were ideal. Salanave loved the fact that the stall in London where the keyboards were exhibited attracted visitors in droves and the fascination on their faces when they found out that the keyboards actually work as they were connected to an iPad on display. Salanave was hopeful for his product as he felt that the wood provides a rather intimate and natural feeling compared to the cold and artificial plastic and aluminum products.
