Our guest on the AEC Podcast today, Michael Talbot, is an interior designer turned quartz designer for Hanstone Quartz. He knows what pops inside a home or business, and as of late, quartz has been not only an aesthetic trend, but a dynamic and versatile style. “With the technology of quartz, we’re able to keep integrity of visuals that people want and pair it with the performance aspects of it,” Talbot said. We discuss evolving countertop trends and how much design really goes into quartz, which is simply manufactured stone. “For me the beauty of quartz is that whatever you can dream up, it can happen.”
