Through the ages, granite has been a popular choice for work surfaces in kitchens mainly because the range of colours, patterns and textures is endless. So it seems bizarre that the use of granite is so often restricted to worktops. Cargo Granite offers a choice of over 80 granites, which are perfect for use in a variety of settings.
In an attempt to demonstrate creative ways of using granite, Cargo Granite has designed and installed a Granite Cocktail Bar in their showroom at the Business Design Centre in Islington. The bar is an excellent example of how granite can be used to create a stylish and spectacularly turn heads!
The spectacular granite bar would be at home in some of the world’s most luxurious properties and hotels boasting a silky black surround with inset semi-precious carnelian stone and illuminated by coloured LED lights. The granite bar highlights the stunning versatility of granite and demonstrates the flexibility of using mixed materials such as granite and semi-precious stones.
Cargo Granite’s granite bar would lend itself perfectly for leading hotels and restaurants creating spectacular talking points for bars, receptions and greeting areas. The most recent high profile refurbishment was that of The Savoy Hotel, London. This luxurious hotel is a superb example of British architecture and understands only too well the importance of making the right impression as soon as a guest enters a hotel. The reception area of the hotel was designed with immaculate precision. Cargo Granite believes that the hard wearing and elegant properties of granite are perfect for 5 star hotels.
And it’s not just luxurious 5 star hotels that can harness the creative uses of granite. As the favoured material for consumer kitchens granite is an ideal resource for the rest of the house.

The focal point and pride and joy of many living rooms is the fireplace; this could be made even more impressive by installing a surround made from granite and semi precious stone. Creating the mantelpiece from semi-precious stone will emphasise the central feature of the room, making a statement and drawing attention to the hub of the home.
Granite worktops are a much loved and treasured design feature in many kitchens but the material is capable of so much more. Natural stones are a beautiful, hard wearing resource that can be used for so many exquisite design projects and will, without doubt, will add value to your home.
