Cosentino Group, a global leader in the production and distribution of innovative architectural and design surfaces, is celebrating its 21st annual “Cosentino 100” convention held in the Riviera Maya (Mexico). One of the most important events for the stone, decoration and remodeling sectors in North America, the convention draws leading customers and partners to learn the latest from the Spain-based manufacturer.

This week's Throwback Thursday is to the January 1994 issue of Stone World magazine where we featured the very first equipment purchasing plans survey. 

Blanco, the German manufacturer of finely crafted sinks and faucets, introduces their newly updated free kitchen design app, Blanco Silgranit. Made for homeowners, designers and fabricators, the app helps users evaluate the appearance of Blanco sinks paired with popular countertops to select the perfect color combination for their kitchen design.

This week's throwback Thursday is to commemorate one of the first stone show reviews we wrote in the magazine, the StonExpo 1989 review.
