Crafted from reclaimed natural roofing slate salvaged from a Christchurch building following the Canterbury earthquakes, this serving board represents a meeting of history, craftsmanship and tradition.<\/p>\n
Recovered from a building on the corner of Colombo Street and Moorhouse Avenue, the slate has been carefully cut, hand-finished and laser engraved in Geraldine, South Canterbury. The natural dressed edges have been retained wherever possible, preserving the character and authenticity of the original material.<\/p>\n
The design features Te Iwa o Matariki, the nine stars associated with Matariki, the M\u0101ori New Year. A time of remembrance, reflection and renewal, Matariki encourages us to honour the past while looking forward to the future\u2014making it a fitting design for a material that has itself been given a second life.<\/p>\n
Each piece is unique, carrying subtle variations in texture, colour and edge detail that reflect its history as reclaimed roofing slate. Whether used as a serving board, displayed as a decorative piece, or gifted as a lasting reminder of Aotearoa, every board tells a story of resilience, renewal and craftsmanship.<\/p>\n
