Norwegian slate has been integral to Norway’s building traditions for thousands of years. The youngest of these stones date back tens of millions of years, while others were formed hundreds of millions of years ago, shaped by shifting continents and ice ages. Traditionally, stone and slate were mined and used locally, much like an “agricultural product”.
Stoneart aims to modernise this ancient industry by developing innovative solutions that make Norwegian slate more accessible to both domestic and international markets. At the same time, our experienced and skilled craftsmen ensure that traditional Norwegian methods of working with slate are preserved and honoured.
