An Exhibit to See at The Plus Theatre During Marmomac 2023
VERONA, ITALY -- In the design of products, interiors or installations, among the skills of a designer is the ability to select and enhance the materials used. Surfaces are architectural elements that serve various decorative and protective functions and are imbued with solid design value.
Over the years, technology and tools available to artisans and designers have helped create finishes with different textures and thicknesses. These finishes, applied in various functions of lithic cladding, make interior design and architectural projects increasingly personalized and unique.
The theme of "decoration" in all its aesthetic and formal languages has always been a subject of study and experimentation, as it constantly evolves following trends, fashion and the culture of each nation. Starting from these premises, ADI Veneto and Trentino Alto Adige Delegation present the exhibition “Material Match Up - Lithic Synergies” at Marmomac – scheduled from September 25 to 28, 2023 in Verona, Italy. The idea of classic mood boards composed of diverse materials evolves into a series of material boards organized with natural stone: compositions of materials, colors, surface treatments and finishes to showcase the entire exhibition proposal at the Verona fair.
The exhibition – at The Plus Theatre (hall 10) – offers itself to the public as a journey of research and knowledge of the tools used to sculpt the surface of natural stone, including bas-relief and marble inlay techniques, with various color combinations and different texture effects. Thus, the allure of natural stone is also conveyed through small surfaces that convey creativity through technique and modernity. Distinctive and identity-driven projects of the highest aesthetic value go beyond the simple concept of cladding to meet the needs of contemporary architecture.
The exhibition is flanked by a video review of lithic materials selected from the last 10 years of the ADI Design Index and the Compasso d'Oro, the most prestigious global design award.
