Vetrazzo

Vetrazzo (the product) was invented in 1996 in Berkeley, California - back when green was just a color. Here's the story: A glass scientist working on his PhD, driven by his passion for the environment, gets the idea to recapture the inherent beauty of recycled glass by transforming it into a functionally superior building material. He teams up with a like-minded Bay Area architect and they form a partnership to produce Vetrazzo in tiny, hand-made batches for the local building community.
