Every September, Verona transforms into the global capital of natural stone. The Marmomac International Stone Fair is not only the most important exhibition in the world for marble, granite, and natural stone, but also a meeting point where design, technology, and culture intersect. As the 59th edition of Marmomac prepares to open its doors from September 23–26, 2025, thousands of architects, designers, distributors, and project specialists will once again gather to explore the future of stone in architecture and design.

This year’s official theme, “Stone Sets the Stage”, highlights stone as both a structural element and a medium of artistic expression. Just as a stage creates space for performance, natural stone provides the foundation upon which human culture, architecture, and lifestyle evolve. The exhibition will showcase how natural stone shapes environments—from timeless monuments to modern interiors—offering inspiration for those who see design as a dialogue between history and innovation. Visitors can expect curated installations, design forums, and technology showcases, all focused on demonstrating how natural stone defines contemporary living.

1. STONELINK at Marmomac 2025 — Booth Area C Stand C1

This year, 2025, STONELINK proudly presents its booth under the theme "Painted for a Thousand Years".

The concept draws from two cultural pillars: the imperial red walls and white marble terraces of the Forbidden City, and the granite columns and paving stones of the Roman Forum. In Chinese tradition, stone reflects harmony between heaven and humanity, balancing restraint with elegance. In Western civilization, stone has long symbolized strength, rationality, and spirituality.

At the STONELINK booth, these two traditions converge. Here, the softness of Eastern aesthetics meets the precision of Western form. Stone is no longer confined to structural use—it becomes a language of color, texture, and symbol. Just as imperial Chinese artisans infused color into architecture and ritual, and Roman builders carved eternity into granite, our exhibition explores how natural stone's living textures bring timeless beauty into contemporary homes.

In this vision, thousand-year-old craftsmanship flows into modern life, creating a seamless fusion of East and West, past and present. Visitors will experience not only materials, but also the philosophy of stone as an enduring art form.
