It sure didn’t feel like we were living in a material world at GreenBuild last week. The show standouts for materials were PaperStone, IceStone, and Kirei who were showing what is in vogue for sustainable finishes. Cosentino was there with their Dekton and ECO lines, and there were a few other regional players, but overall the interior finishes were underrepresented.
But, what an opportunity to shine! The architects and designers were clamoring to see the new textured finishes from PaperStone and some of their new “beta” colors as they test the market appetite for their new palette. IceStone displayed their new two-toned Gotham Grey – which was emphatically received by the “who’s who” of the architecture world. Kirei had a stunning display of EchoPanel in its vibrant colors and shapes on display. We are very excited to roll these out to our customer base over the next few months. And don’t worry Madonna – we are still crazy for you too.
