Editors' Picks 2007

By Rita Catinella Orrell
December 16, 2007
 
 

 

There are a multitude of reasons why a product grabs the attention of our editors. Sometimes it’s the ability to wear two seemingly contradictory hats at the same time, such as a durable solid surface that can be translucent; other times, it’s a response to an obvious need in the market, such as a recycling program for vinyl wall coverings.
