Take only what you need, and find perfection in the imperfect. That seems to be the mission of Borrowed Earth Collaborative, founded by LA-based artist and entrepreneur Ruchika Grover.
Borrowed Earth’s new tiles, panels, and stonework by Grover were a favorite at this year’s IBS. In styles and colors like Bamboo and Flutes and Lavender and Grey Fantasy, the options were seemingly endless. Grover’s work celebrates the natural wonders of the world while encouraging you to stop and think—where did this come from?Where did I come from? Borrowed Earth aims to collaborate with architects, designers, and artists to tell their stories and bring exciting new projects to life.
Borrowed Earth uses recycled materials and smaller blocks considered to be imperfect, choosing materials only from quarries that extract in a sustainable manner while sourcing materials close to the manufacturing unit to reduce transportation emissions. Conserving water in the stone manufacturing process is also a big part of their sustainability mission.
