Design with natural stone highlighting sustainability and respect for the environment

Curated by ADI Veneto & Trentino Alto Adige Delegation

The ETICA LITICA exhibition, curated by the ADI Veneto Trentino Alto Adige Delegation, highlights the topic of sustainability and respect for the environment when using natural stone in design projects.

The concept is developed through the design of one or more objects starting from a marble slab measuring 3.30 x 2 metres by 2/3cm in thickness, typical of the most common commercial modules.

Developing a three-dimensional object means the surface of the slab must be exploited to the full to minimize possible waste of material.

Seventeen designers associated with the ADI Veneto and Trentino-Alto Adige delegation were invited to develop seventeen projects where the transposition of stone material from a two-dimensional slab into a three-dimensional object exemplifies creativity as well as showcasing astonishing innovation. In this exhibition, design reflects a concept which, while respecting precise limits, demonstrates its vitality and beauty by putting forward new ideas and solutions that herald a more sustainable and ethically fairer world.

The exhibition – set up in The Plus Theatre in Hall 10 - also includes a review of products in natural stone that over the years have won a Compasso d'Oro - the award famous all over the world for its excellence and a flagship of Italian design, as well as the ADI Index Award associated with it. The “Etica Litica” exhibition thereby provides a complete overview, where marble meets excellence, beauty, innovation and sustainability.
