Architype at Marmomac 2025. Highlights from the leading global stone industry trade fair

From September 23 to 26, 2025, Verona became the global capital of stone and design, hosting the latest edition of Marmomac, considered one of the most important trade fairs in the global stone industry. This year's edition brought together over 1,400 exhibitors from 54 countries, and the 76,000 m² of indoor and outdoor space was visited by nearly 50,000 guests, including as many as 66% from abroad. The fair offered an opportunity for market leaders, innovators and designers to present their latest collections, technologies, and solutions for architecture and interior design. Naturally, we couldn’t miss it.

For Architype, taking part in Marmomac was another valuable experience – an opportunity to present our collections to an international audience, surrounded by industry leaders and the latest trends in natural stone and its alternatives. Our stand became a meeting place for architects, designers and business partners from around the world, as well as a space to exchange inspiration and discuss the future of the premium surfaces market.

The following products attracted particular attention at our stand:

• Avant Quartz and Caesarstone – quartz surfaces valued for their timeless design, durability and versatility,
• new decors created using 3D printing technology (the pigment is present throughout the entire thickness of the slab, not just on the surface), ideal for high-traffic areas, as any scratches or chips remain virtually invisible. It is worth noting that this technology received the most questions: about the production process of 3D-printed quartz surfaces and its properties compared to natural stone. The fact that the material is also colored throughout and not just on the surface, often surprised visitors.
• the innovative NEO CRYSTAL collection, developed using Zero Silica Technology (0% silica) – a solution that sets a new direction in environmental care, health and safety in the industry,
• Avant Quartz 5750 Calacatta Chery and Avant Quartz 5700 Taj Amelie decors – many visitors noted that they look strikingly similar to natural stone.

The turnout at our stand exceeded our expectations. We would like to thank everyone who stopped by for a chat, looked at our materials, and shared their insights. And there were many of you! We talked about the properties of the materials, compared natural stone with its substitutes, and discussed how 3D printing technology can influence design, especially in the context of pattern repeatability and the possibility of personalizing slabs, which is particularly valued by today's customers. Our stand stood out primarily due to the attractive presentation of the materials. Visitors were eager to stop by, examine the slabs up close, and experience their texture and finish. The interest in new technologies and eco-friendly solutions confirms that today’s interior and surface materials market is driven by innovation and environmentally responsible choices.

Marmomac is also a platform for showcasing not only stone products, but also advanced machinery, processing technologies, tools, construction chemicals, and artistic projects that show the wide range of possibilities offered by natural stone and related materials. The time we spent in Verona was extremely inspiring for us. We return with numerous ideas, which we are already applying in our ongoing work with architects, designers, and investors. Participation in trade fairs is crucial for companies such as Architype, as it allows us to stay up to date with what is happening in the industry. Marmomac is not only a space for presentation, but also for the exchange of knowledge - discussions about trends, ecology, new technologies, and market needs give us the tools to better support our partners in creating quality projects.
