Slate - nature for your home

Nov 14, 2016

We live in a special time. We are literally overwhelmed with technical innovations of all sorts that previous generations could imagine only in dreams, as their fantasies of “future vision”. They were imaginations that have been really fulfilled and we can’t imagine our life without them yet.

For example, many decades have passed since the first plastic - bakelite was invented in the world. Since then, plastics have become an integral part of our life. They literally filled our homes, we can’t imagine that we will not put purchased goods into a plastic bag, hundreds of kinds of mineral water are packed in PET bottles… In one post I read sentence “We are a plastic generation, we live in a plastic age, and our planet has become a plastic planet…” It can be only agreed.

What about bringing a small piece of nature, at least the smallest one into our homes? What would you say about slate – natural stone, which originated about 350-400 million years ago? A material, which was spread on the west a long time ago for its universal use, from the roofing that has not been “overcome” by any actual roofing (about this in next post), up to its use as school aids for writing and drawing.

Slate and its use in home represents loads of variations, mainly due to its use in kitchen, dining room and in decorative combinations. In western countries its use is common, in our conditions we just start discovering it. Definitely some of you have visited Chinese restaurants and they brought you famous sushi served on black stone plate. For some of you it was surprise, what is it? A plastic that imitates something natural? No, it’s the slate. Natural material without any artificial additives. Due to its natural character, structure and color from black, green to violet shades, it ensures uniqueness and originality for each kind of product. Unlike current plastic products, this material is proven by time and has its justification in our homes.

To fulfill the slogan from the title of post – the proof of countless slate use are stylish serving platters, saucers, decorative accessories for dining tables, and so on. On natural stone base (in the principle, slate is a stone with specific properties), in different sizes and finishes – from glossy to raw (natural, without any finish), where stand out a great combinations of cheeses, cakes and other delicious foods. Their offer may be found in the e-shop www.bridlica.eu. Believe that your guests will definitely appreciate your originality and return to the “roots”.

It’s clear that is not possible to push plastics out from our homes and our actual needs, they have irrecoverable justification in many activities. But sometimes and somewhere it would be possible. What do you say…
