BORROWED EARTH, STONE BRICKS

Stone company Borrowed Earth sees its raw material-stone from quarries in India, Iran, or Portugal-as merely “borrowed” from the planet. Founder and CEO Ruchika Grover understands a thing or two about that because her first job was as a block marker, selecting stone for her father’s marble and granite trade. The waste she saw in those quarries inspired Borrowed Earth’s latest offering-Stone Bricks made out of the remnants and discards from the process of cutting slabs and tiles. The bricks come in eight colors, and can be previewed in any configuration using the company’s AR app. “There are so many patterns and textures you can create with it,” Grover says. borrowedearthcollaborative.com
