Descriptiontext

Stone Source is a US-based distributor of premium natural stone, porcelain, ceramic, glass, and engineered surface materials serving architects, interior designers, and commercial clients in the architecture and design industry. Founded in 1988 and headquartered at 215 Park Avenue South in New York, the company operates five physical showroom locations across New York, Carlstadt (NJ), Atlanta, Nashville, and Washington DC, supplemented by a virtual showroom and a dedicated Hospitality Division operated through Ceramic Technics. Its product portfolio spans marble, limestone, travertine, quartzite, granite, basalt, slate, onyx, sandstone, porcelain tile, ceramic tile, glass tile, and proprietary engineered surfaces including the patented LayerStone panels (available in large-format sizes up to 48x96 inches) and La Pietra Compattata. The company holds exclusive US distribution for Italian designer tile maker Mutina, featuring collections from Patricia Urquiola, India Mahdavi, Nathalie Du Pasquier, and Studio Bouroullec.

Stone Source generates revenue primarily through one-time sale of surface materials to trade professionals, with a quote-based pricing model that is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market combines showroom-based enterprise field sales, specification support during the design phase, and digital channels including a product catalog website and a digital brochure library. Specialized programs — Quick Ship (stocking), Made in USA, Fundamentals by Stone Source, Pure Solutions Antimicrobial Tiles, Custom Design Solutions, and Epic Porcelain Slabs — segment the offering by lead time, origin, performance, and customization requirements. Notable project customers span hospitality (Cosmopolitan Spa Las Vegas, Cantilever House), retail (Macy's Herald Square), sports venues (Vanderbilt South End via Populous), corporate (215 Park Avenue via Perkins Will), and luxury residential. The company is privately held; since April 2022 it has operated as a subsidiary of Paramount Global Surfaces (PGS), a Platinum Equity portfolio company, following its acquisition from Founders Equity. The company has held the #3 ranking in Contract Magazine's Tile and Stone Brand Report (2014, 2015) and won Interior Design Magazine's Best of Year 2024 award.
