IceStone began in 2003 with a simple concept; transform waste glass into something beautiful. Co-founders Miranda Magagnani and Peter Strugatz set out to create a business that integrated sustainable, responsible practices from process to product, and to provide a high design solution that would address a real problem. To date, IceStone has diverted over 16 million pounds of glass from landfills, and their signature recycled glass and cement products remain an icon of the new countertop industry, delivering style that brings design projects to life.
