At the 59th edition of Marmomac, held at Veronafiere from 23\u202fto\u202f26\u202fSeptember, the exhibition Epiphanies unveils new applicative and cultural frontiers for natural stone.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Epiphanies is a performative exhibition that investigates new applications and horizons for natural stone. Curated by designer and lecturer Raffaello Galiotto\u2014and featured among the four special projects of The Plus Theatre, the Marmomac pavilion, entirely dedicated to visions of the future of stone\u2014the installation presents four projects that aim to reveal fresh design possibilities for this extraordinary material.<\/p>\n

The Pietra\u202fdi\u202fVicenza (Perla\u202fBlu grade) from Grassi\u202fPietre \u2013 celebrated for its \u201cimperfections\u201d -creates a chiaroscuro play inside a meditation booth designed by Matteo\u202fFraticelli and Marcela\u202fSottile of FROM\u202farchitecture for Reasoning\u202fwith\u202fstone.<\/p>\n

The Return of Natural Stone, conceived by Anne Hangebruch Mark Ammann Architekten together with Nerissa Yeung of Groupwork, explores stone as an alternative to the ubiquitous reinforced concrete, highlighting both its strong eco-credentials (stone can contain up to 99 per cent less embodied carbon) and its versatility. A tangible expression of the project\u2019s key concepts will be on display at the fair: a sandstone-and-granite beam produced by Bamberger Natursteinwerk that appears literally \u201csuspended\u201d thanks to a mechanical compression system enabling both vertical and horizontal lithic structures.<\/p>\n

Pushing the boundaries of parametric design, Lucidum and Aracari venture into uncharted technological territory, even challenging the laws of physics. British designer Tara Moore, who has made Carrara her second home, employs Robologica technologies to shape a Carrara white-marble seat in which the characteristic 3D-design lines remain visible, underscoring the piece\u2019s fully robotic creation. Ludson\u202fMoulin\u202fZampirolli takes experimentation to the verge of breakage: guided by human hands, the machine opens new horizons. Through parametric calculation, the diamond-wire cutting by Pellegrini\u202fMeccanica and Decormarmi sculpts a single block of Granistone quartz, revealing unprecedented proportions.<\/p>\n
