Antolini at Marmomac 2025
The Antolini® stand at Marmomac, held in Verona in September this year, was designed by Alessandro La Spada, who has collaborated with the Verona-based brand for many years.
The exterior of the stand featured a compact, mysterious monolith while the front wall, clad in Silver Roots with a Hard Rock textured finish, is offset and opens towards the reception counter, creating a path with which to enter the stand. The reception area is designed to captivate with the dynamic Cipollino GreyWave taking centre stage, while the client lounge is an immersive experience for the senses with the intensity of Irish Green.
A site-specific installation by Florentine artist Murran Billi sits in a protected space at the heart of the stand, hidden from public view and immersed in a soft light. Billi has chosen to celebrate Catherine de’ Medici, Queen of France and ambassador of the Italian Renaissance.
Alongside this space, Antolini inaugurated the Antolini Pavilion, housed under the arches of the Gallerie Mercatali, a majestic post-war industrial structure transformed for the event into a place of discovery and wonder, located right across from the fair’s main entrance. Under these light-bathed arches, around fifty materials, selected from the Exclusive Collection and the Natural Stone Collection, took centre stage. From vivid quartzites such as Amazonite® to the most spectacular natural quartzes such as Cristallo Vitrum “Wow”, as well as the latest additions to the Exclusive Collection – including the vibrant Luise Blue® quartzite and the refined Quarzite Rosso Levanto – each stone evoked images of its places of origin and with the finished slabs, in a narrative that wove together nature, culture and contemporary design.
The stand and the Antolini® Pavilion represent two chapters of the same story, united by the desire to bring out the authentic beauty of natural stone and transform it into a universal language.
