While nearly half of Immokalee families live in poverty, nearby Naples is one of the wealthiest communities in the United States. While one well-documented solution to breaking the cycle of poverty is access to high-quality educational opportunities, in Immokalee there are not enough services to meet the need. 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.vetrazzo.com/designers-unite-to-help-build-a-brighter-future-for-underserved-students#comments-listing) Keywords: [Vetrazzo recycled glass](https://blog.vetrazzo.com/topic/vetrazzo-recycled-glass), [Millefiori](https://blog.vetrazzo.com/topic/millefiori), [Made in America](https://blog.vetrazzo.com/topic/made-in-america), [Interior Design](https://blog.vetrazzo.com/topic/interior-design), [Sustainable Design](https://blog.vetrazzo.com/topic/sustainable-design), [interior](https://blog.vetrazzo.com/topic/interior) [Read More \>](https://blog.vetrazzo.com/designers-unite-to-help-build-a-brighter-future-for-underserved-students) [![](https://blog.vetrazzo.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Vetrazzo%20-%20Guadalupe%20Center%20-%20UMI%20and%20Sara%20Gomez%20-%20Millefiori%202.jpeg)](https://blog.vetrazzo.com/designers-unite-to-help-build-a-brighter-future-for-underserved-students) ## [First-Class Finishes in the Sea-Tac Delta Sky Lounge](https://blog.vetrazzo.com/first-class-finishes-in-the-sea-tac-delta-sky-lounge) Posted by [Steven Schrenk](https://blog.vetrazzo.com/author/steven-schrenk) - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) The golden days of luxury air travel (the glamorous glory years of Pan Am and the Concorde in the 1950s and 60s) may be long gone, but that doesn’t mean airlines aren’t still offering their flyers lavish amenities.

"the sweet scent and dazzling colors of a hillside covered with wildflowers. For centuries, Italians have made glass in brilliant colors called Millefiori - "a thousand flowers." The Millefiori mix captures that beauty with salvaged glass from a renowned art glassmaker. Millefiori gets a lot of attention in our office. Not only is it a conversation starter but it is by far the most unique colors when it comes to recycled glass counter tops. There is nothing else like it on the market. So where does it come from and why is it so unique? 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.vetrazzo.com/millefiori-a-thousand-flowers#comments-listing) Keywords: [Millefiori](https://blog.vetrazzo.com/topic/millefiori), [Made in America](https://blog.vetrazzo.com/topic/made-in-america) [Read More \>](https://blog.vetrazzo.com/millefiori-a-thousand-flowers) [![](https://blog.vetrazzo.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/mill.jpg)](https://blog.vetrazzo.com/millefiori-a-thousand-flowers) ## [Recycled Skyy® Vodka Bottles Emulate Water at the Parkway Hills Baptist Church.](https://blog.vetrazzo.com/recycled-skyy-vodka-bottles-emulate-water-at-the-parkway-hills-baptist-church) Posted by [Steven Schrenk](https://blog.vetrazzo.com/author/steven-schrenk) - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) Recycled Skyy® Vodka Bottles Emulate Water at the Parkway Hills Baptist Church.

An innovated, passionate glass scientist in Berkley, CA did. More than 15 years ago he was the first to create a 100% Post Consumer Recycled Glass countertop called Vetrazzo®.   0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.vetrazzo.com/recycled-skyy-vodka-bottles-emulate-water-at-the-parkway-hills-baptist-church#comments-listing) Keywords: [Cobalt Sky](https://blog.vetrazzo.com/topic/cobalt-sky), [Commercial Projects](https://blog.vetrazzo.com/topic/commercial-projects), [Made in America](https://blog.vetrazzo.com/topic/made-in-america) [Read More \>](https://blog.vetrazzo.com/recycled-skyy-vodka-bottles-emulate-water-at-the-parkway-hills-baptist-church) [![](https://blog.vetrazzo.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/CobaltSkyy1-300x292.jpeg)](https://blog.vetrazzo.com/recycled-skyy-vodka-bottles-emulate-water-at-the-parkway-hills-baptist-church) ## [The Granite Gurus: The Stories in Vetrazzo Surfaces](https://blog.vetrazzo.com/the-granite-gurus-the-stories-in-vetrazzo-surfaces) Posted by [Steven Schrenk](https://blog.vetrazzo.com/author/steven-schrenk) - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [The Granite Gurus: The Stories in Vetrazzo Surfaces](http://www.granitegurus.com/2012/03/stories-in-vetrazzo-surfaces.html?spref=bl) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.vetrazzo.com/the-granite-gurus-the-stories-in-vetrazzo-surfaces#comments-listing) Keywords: [Millefiori](https://blog.vetrazzo.com/topic/millefiori), [Made in America](https://blog.vetrazzo.com/topic/made-in-america) [Read More \>](https://blog.vetrazzo.com/the-granite-gurus-the-stories-in-vetrazzo-surfaces) [![](https://blog.vetrazzo.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Granite-Gurus-Vetrazzo-Millefiori-300x215.jpeg)](https://blog.vetrazzo.com/the-granite-gurus-the-stories-in-vetrazzo-surfaces) [All posts](https://blog.vetrazzo.com/all) ### Mindfully Made **Recycled Glass Countertops** Vetrazzo recycled glass surfaces were hatched in Berkeley, CA in 1996.
