Robin Reigi Inc. Welcomes PULP Studio to our permanent collection
Finally! We have Glass!
We are pleased to announce our new partnership with Pulp Studio, a Los Angeles
based decorative glass manufacturer specializing in custom solutions using a broad range of products [J1] and components. Pulp Studio has been making specialty glass products for over 15 years with completed projects in retail, hospitably and institutional architecture. One of the great advantages to PULP in comparison to other glass companies is that they manufacture their huge range of products in house and are able to draw from a variety of technologies to solve complicated design challenges - which is why we like them!
Check out our photos of Pulp's Exterior Grade Digital Imagery using DuPont™ SentryGlas® Expressions™- a relatively new digital printing technique, where any custom image is printed using proprietary, high definition ink jet and PVB interlayer technology. The result is astonishing imagery and design textures, all protected within the safety glass itself.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 14, 2008
SMITH & FONG CO. TO PRODUCE WORLD’S FIRST FSC-CERTIFIED BAMBOO ARCHITECTURAL PLYWOOD AND FLOORING
San Francisco, Calif. – Smith & Fong Co., manufacturer of Plyboo® bamboo architectural plywood and flooring, today announced it has secured certification according to the standards of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and established a responsibly managed bamboo forest resource, enabling the company to produce the world’s first range of FSC-certified bamboo plywood and flooring.
Product will be available to the North American market by this summer.
“The independent European FSC-certifier Institut für Marktökologie (IMO) was impressed with our forestry practices and agreed that if we could meet the same FSC standards for a tree forest, it would certify our bamboo source,” Smith & Fong president and founder Dan Smith said. “We have been working with the bamboo forests and telling our story for more than a decade now, and we’re grateful to both FSC and IMO for validating our efforts.”
“We are pleased that Smith & Fong has expanded the North American marketplace for certified products by offering bamboo plywood and flooring with the FSC label,” FSC-US president Corey Brinkema said. “FSC is the world’s most highly respected certification for forest products. Whether a product is made of a traditional wood species, or a less traditional non-timber forest resource like bamboo, it is important for consumers to know that the forest is being managed to high social and environmental standards.”
Smith & Fong’s certified products will qualify for the FSC Pure designation, as they are 100-percent FSC material from an FSC-certified forest and have been sold and/or processed by an FSC chain-of-custody certified company. Smith further stated that the company’s sources use no irrigation, pesticides or fertilizers in growing their bamboo. “This is not only a success for the forests and the farmers who grow our bamboo,” he said. “It’s a victory for everyone who believes in an environmentally responsible future.”
Smith & Fong’s chain of custody (COC) certificate is from the SmartWood program of the Rainforest Alliance: SW-COC-003124.
Founded in 1989 and headquartered in San Francisco, Smith & Fong Co. was the first U.S. company to manufacture bamboo flooring in China for sale in North America, offering its first product in 1993. In 1996 the firm began producing bamboo plywood, followed by coconut palm flooring and plywood products in 2000. Smith & Fong is committed to earth friendly practices and innovation.
