Sourcing

PROCESS:

Earthen Goods aims to bring a new natural stone sourcing experience to the design community through thoughtful curation and a “no stone left unturned” mentality. As natural stone continues through its modern renaissance, consumers are continuously exposed to previously unknown flavors of stone beyond the basic “builder grade” granites of the past and are now able to develop an affinity for the array of marbles, quartzites, travertines, and limestones that are available. As natural stones vary greatly from batch to batch, simply finding a stone with the same name is not enough; we must locate “the one” that resonates with the client.

We seek to find:

1) Specific variations of a stone (whether inclusions or omissions of a characteristic)

2) Alternate stone options that provide enhanced performance

3) Specific sizes to achieve seamless design and reduce waste

4) Solutions for budget and time constraints

Major importers are married to basic business practices to move internal inventory before looking to outsource for the perfect selection. We break down this barrier and put the focus back on the client and their specific needs by hunting far and wide to find that perfect stone that exceeds the expectations of the client and the design team.

As Earthen Goods grows and matures, so will our offering, from stone furniture and accessories to reclaimed terracotta and brick, and we look forward to developing products and services you can rely on.
