MARBLE IS THE NEW BLACK


MARBLE IS LITERALLY THE NEW BLACK

As an 80’s kid (yikes, I feel old!), I remember walking up our staircase to our condo in Lisbon and having a closer look on the walls and stairs which were framed with solid marble. I remember my eyes followed each swirl and vein and I was intrigued with the coloration and how it’s worn patina felt hard but yet extremely smooth. The smoothness had a certain softness to the touch, which I loved. In fact, I loved it so much that I barely used the railing.

Fast-forward a couple of years, and here I find myself extremely thrilled to witness this moment! This antique material is going through a major revival! It has always been associated with a more classic and more “old fashioned” stigma, but currently it’s literally taking over the design industry. From vetements, to interieurs, to phone cases and surfboards! Yes, you read damn right: surfboards! It’s exciting to see how designers are applying this natural material  on unusual and unexpected items. In my opinion, that is what makes this trend win it’s momentum, coupled of course with the beauty of this natural slab and it’s unique and non-repetitive patterns that stimulate our eyes.

    Greetings! Quick question that’s totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My site looks weird when browsing from my iphone. I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to resolve this issue. If you have any recommendations, please share. Thank you!

    Hey there this is kinda of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if
    you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no
    coding experience so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • I was reading through some of your blog posts on this site and I think this site is really instructive! Keep posting.

    Howdy are using WordPress for your site platform?
    I’m new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started and set
    up my own. Do you need any html coding knowledge to make your own blog?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I don’t know if it’s just me or if perhaps everybody else encountering problems with your site.

    It looks like some of the text in your posts are running off the screen. Can someone else please provide feedback and let me
    know if this is happening to them too? This might be a problem with
    my internet browser because I’ve had this happen before.

    Thank you

    Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The
    words in your article seem to be running off the screen in Ie.
    I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know.

    The design and style look great though! Hope you get the issue fixed
    soon. Kudos

    Good day! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website?

    I’m getting fed up of WordPress because I’ve had
    issues with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform.
    I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a
    good platform.
