Among the cultural activities at Marmomacc, the program included the “Marmomacc Meets Design” initiative, which paired leading international designers with 10 Italian stone processors. Three of the booths featuring these designs shared the first Marmomacc “Best Communicator Award,” presented to the booths with the best visual approaches to conveying the richness of stone. The winners included Il Casone for Kengo Kuma’s booth design.


The importance of Marmomacc to the world of stone was demonstrated by this year’s “Marmomacc Meets Design” initiative, which paired leading international designers with 10 Italian stone processors. The pairings focused on the “lightness” of stone in developing objects such as lamps as well as entire booth designs.

Three of the booths featuring these designs shared the first Marmomacc “Best Communicator Award,” presented to the booths with the best visual approaches to conveying the richness of stone. The winners:

• Il Casone for Kengo Kuma’s booth design

• Grassi Pietre for its booth, designed by Aldo Cibic

• PibaMarmi for Michele de Lucchi’s marble lamps over miniature stone structures

Kuma, Cibic, Denis Santachiara, Tobia Scarpa and Riccardo Blumer are among the designers involved with this project who were also present at Marmomacc. They were joined by a number of architects who received awards for the 10th Edition of The International Architecture In Stone Award, including Jensen & Skodvin, Paulo David, Antonio Jiménez Torrecillas and Beniamino Servino, at a ceremony held at Verona’s unique Castelvecchio Musem. This event was also attended by architects – including Angela Garcia de Paredes and Ignacio Garcia Pedrosa, as well as Ignacio Fernandez Solla - whose works were featured in the “New Stone Architecture In Spain” exhibition, which highlighted major stone projects of the last 10 years.

Marmomacc attracts architects not only thanks to its commitment to promoting stone-related design, but also because it is a showcase of technological innovations in architectural stoneworking. One example of this is the Grein Group’s “Stone Foil,” a very malleable stone material with a thickness of 2/10 mm that is considered to be ideal for non-flat surfaces. Grein created a series of motorcycle helmets with an outer layer of granite as an example of what becomes possible thanks to this increased flexibility. The helmet is available in 15 types of granite.

Marmomacc 2007 also hosted the ninth edition of its continuing education course for architects. Thirty architects from the U.S., Canada, the U.K., India, South Africa and Australia spent four days studying the importance of stone in modern design. Participants visited quarries in Lessinia, Palladio’s Villa “La Torre” and even Bertani’s 18th century Villa Novare winery.



Another award was given to Grassi Pietre for its booth, designed by Aldo Cibic.
