THIRTY, TIMELESS AND UNIQUE: MARBLE

Marble reminds you of classical antiquity. To the past. Greek temples that are colored with white marble or the beautiful decoration of the Vatican in Rome. It breathes luxury. And that is it. It is a very expensive type of material that will last a very long time. The Vatican was founded in 1870 and when I walked there last year, everything looked just as breathtaking. 

In Ancient Rome we see many remains in places where once beautiful buildings have stood. The Romans have already removed the marble there to use it for the churches in the new part of Rome. 

Although it is expensive but also indestructible, it can also be a great investment, even for the home.

In recent years, marble has made another comeback in the interior. What makes marble so special is its lively character that fits both in a classic interior and in a modern and sleek home. You can have marble everywhere and in all colors and sizes.

What exactly is marble?

Marble is mainly found in the mountains around the Mediterranean Sea. The most famous is the white marble from India. India is also known for its marble god statues.
Marble is created because limestone undergoes enormous pressure and temperature differences for a very long time. The word marble comes from the Greek word marmaros, which means 'shiny stone'. Each piece of marble has its own unique drawing that characterizes marble. Marble is mined in blocks as blocks, slabs are sawn from these marble blocks and tiles are sawn from the slabs. The material is metamorphosed. 

Metamorphosis is a term used to describe chemical reactions and phase transitions in rocks.
