Bluetabla Tbilisi

The Ultimate Georgian Designs

"Bluetabla is an ultimate Georgian brand that offers items for home and accessories with Georgian traditional ornaments. Tablecloths, watches, scarves..."

The Georgian language is one of the most difficult languages to learn on Earth. The first hardship to come across is the alphabet with 33 letters in it, all looking gorgeous and curvy, making you want to decorate your living room with them. But did you know that A - there is more than one Georgian alphabet? And B - a small shop lets you fulfill that exact desire?

Bluetabla is an ultimate Georgian brand that offers items for home and accessories with Georgian traditional ornaments. While this may sound like another tourist trap, the nationality of the majority of their customers will surprise you.

Any time you walk by one of their stands, it’s usually surrounded by locals, trying their best to simplify the gift-selection process. Tablecloths, coffee mugs, watches, scarves, ties and other items have uncomplicated symmetrical designs, with traditional abstract patterns embedded, along with letters from either the modern or ancient alphabet (both looking stunning by the way).

So, if you’re looking to impress your friends back home with original Georgian designs, ‘the ball and the playground are in your hands’ (meaning - be my guest).

Pho Asian Food

A taste of true wok

I think it is the real fire that gives the wok dishes, especially fried noodles, the kind of flavor that reminds me of Georgian national barbecue, Mtsvadi!
