This year we teamed up with JPC Architects to participate in Product Runway, an annual design extravaganza where local materials companies (like us) showcase our wares in an extraordinary way. Participants create wearable fashions using tile, furniture, carpets–whatever materials the suppliers want to highlight. In our case, we featured bright red Puzzle Glass Tiles from Villi, as well as our I Frammenti line of micro-mosaic tiles. The designers created a butterfly effect by fabricating two dresses to be worn side by side. Our models rocked the runway (stone joke!) and everyone had an amazing time. Although we didn’t take the prize, we know in our hearts that we should have. We look forward to next year’s competition already.
