press releases introduction exhibitions	Everybody's talking about RESILICA and eight inch...here's a selection of quotes spanning the last couple of years. There's added brownie points for being green but that's not the major motivation...I'd say the appeal was 50/50 - I think it looks really beautiful. Sarah Wigglesworth of her recycled glass RESILICA table in Intra, March 2002 RESILICA is an encouraging arrival on the scene Pamela Buxton, May 2002 - Kitchens Bedrooms & Bathrooms Technological advances are being married to aeshetic considerations, projecting us into a future where more people are living in harmony rather than at odds with the environment. Durable and ultra stylish 'green' materials such as RESILICA...are meeting the market needs. Jill Macnair, January 2002 - World of Interiors ...close by, the kitchen table is made of a new material called RESILICA...Ground and polished, it sparkles like a jewel case. The few pieces of what look like the blue bottles of welsh mineral water shine like sapphires" Timothy Brittain Catlin, January 2002 - World of Interiors "We want a funky, recycled worktop for our glass and aluminium kitchen. Do you know if such a thing exists and if so where can it be bought?" "RESILICA sounds like the perfect material for you, Its 85% recycled glass. You can specify the percentage of coloured versus clear glass so you get the exact look you want and the company will even colour match". 'Postbag', 25 beautiful Kitchens, Feb/March 2003 "A unique feature is the bar, which has been constructed by Eight Inch from RESILICA...Bound to be a talking point at the venue, this magnificent pale slab was also available with green or brown glass, but the pale colouring maximises the effect of internal fibre optic lighting, which punctures the skirt of the bar with aquamarine rings". Theme - bar & restaurant style - July 2002 "Meanwhile, design group Eight Inch have run with the idea and created a whole new material, 'RESILICA' - shards of coloured glass suspended in resin to produce a tough, versatile and cool looking material for floors and surfaces". Kate Jacobs, January 2002 - Elle Decoration ...the bench is made from a recycled glass material called RESILICA, which can be made up in any colour - you literally choose the bottles according to the shade you want". Michelle Ogundehin, Winter 2002 - 25 Beautiful Kitchens "RESILICA is the new hard wearing stain resistant composite that can be carved into almost any shape". Environment Business Magazine, July/August 2002 Once polished the quality of the glass aggregate becomes obvious, forming a tough and impervious surface. RESILICA is a viable alternative to natural stone…a material with endless design possibilities. Materials Recycling Week,August 31, 2001 But the idea of blobs or chips of colour running through a slab of work surface is a lovely one, so why not try RESILICA by Eight Inch. Laurence Llewelyn Bowen, March 16, 2001 – Daily Express/div> Newcastle's citizens have swapped a grimy road junction for a carpet of blue glass – and it's magic. Hugh Pearman, February 3 2002 – Sunday Times Charge your glasses, raise a toast and take your empties to the bottle bank, because this is surely the coolest use for recycled glass The Sunday Review September 15, 2002 - The Sunday Times	press coverage Intra Kitchens Bedrooms & Bathrooms World of Interiors World of Interiors 25 beautiful Kitchens Sustain - Built Environment Matters Telegraph Magazine Theme House & Garden Elle Decoration Environment Business Magazine Materials Recycling Week Life, the Observer Magazine Sunday Times The Journal The Independent on Sunday The Eco Friendly Home Awards Received 2003 - International Design Resource Awards - Winner 2001 - International Design Resource Awards - Winner. 2001 - International Design Eco Awards - Third Place.
