There is an undeniable beauty in marble and other fine stone, whether you’re regarding a simple but splendid slab or an exquisite, intricate sculpture. This past fall, more than 1,500 companies from 54 countries convened once more in Verona, Italy, to celebrate that natural beauty and all its applications at Marmomac, the premier annual international trade show dedicated to stone and the industry’s latest innovations, trends, and architectural applications.
For four days at the end of September, a community of high-profile distributors, contractors, buyers, architects, and designers gathered to contemplate the future of this age-old material. “Marmomac is a true international business hub,” says Federico Bricolo, president of Veronafiere, the 350,000-square-meter exhibition space where the event took place. “It’s where relationships are developed to guide the present and future of the natural-stone market.” Here’s our look at what took place at Marmomac this year, including top trends for 2024; cutting-edge innovations; rock-star designers, architects, and brands that exhibited; and the winner of our Matter of Stone award.
