Kitchen: IceStone Counter Surfaces

From Francesca

Brooklyn-based IceStone, founded by Miranda Magagnini and Peter Strugatz (both former eco-friendly socially responsible venture capitalists), is the first durable surface to receive the McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry (MBDC)’s Cradle to Cradle certification. Using super green practices, such as soy-based machine lubricants and day lighting, the company recycles 2.6 million pounds of glass a year in its Brooklyn factory. The finished products are as strong as granite but not as porous as marble, making them ideal for kitchen counters, bathroom surfaces, and flooring.

I love stories like this. I spoke to an architect the other day who was explaining that because her business is slow right now she is taking advantage. She is looking into even more eco friendly building materials and exploring new ways to build with less of a footprint and get this.... hoping that it will save the clients money.

Sooooo great.

We work with IceStone and as long as people can afford it, they love it. It is worth noting that this is a real high-end product.
