These stunningly simple multi-use stools are one of those rare products that demonstrates fun and functional design - and is actually affordable! Even more rare, is that they are made in the USA by GO.LO.GOR.SKY STUDIO. The cost of the product is $149, and it is well worth checking out their website to see alternate use of the stool as an occasional table, book cubbie, and perfect addition to any child care environment.
OK... it is not an actual product, but I wanted a loud place to let folks know about a presentation being provided by National Office. It's something we are all going to be dealing with soon, so getting informed, and getting those hard to obtain LEED CEU credits seemed to make this little shout out to be worth it. Details are as follow:
This course will provide an update of the development process, and a general overview of the technical changes. It will also include an early look at supporting tools and resources for the LEED v4 program.

For many years there have been paper-based solid surface products available from companies such as Richlite, Paperstone, and Shetkastone, and now Panolam has introduced Ecostone; which is made from nearly 100% recycled papers and uses a phenolic resin as the binder, and has a broader range of colors than its competitors.
BETONA represents and entirely new class of tile product, that fills a need as both a truly sustainable tile product and a unique product easily customizable with graphics or a special color choice.
The product is made using 50% POST CONSUMER glass sourced from such items as windshields. windows and light bulbs; and is manufacturered without being kiln-fired (cured at room temperature). One additinal bonus... it is made in the USA (Michigan).
The product is being represented in the Washington DC area by Mosaic Tile Co.
