This year we had the honor of having international architect Craig Copeland
designing our booth; without spoiling the surprise, here is an idea of what
you’ll find from the architect’s own words: “Caldia Curve,
initiated in the spring of 2014 in collaboration with MGI, includes an expanding
series of formal examinations in stone panel shaping. From geometric plays in
relief and perforation, Caldia Curve seeks ways to combine contemporary computer
model based

designs with the latest technologies in stone fabrication”. At Marmomacc, MGI

will present the first in a series of these

panels, integrated within their exhibition

also designed by Copeland. The intent
is to use the same booth in the next few

years as an armature for showcasing
increasingly sophisticated forms and

fabrications of the Caldia Curve. In the
wait to see this innovative exhibition, I recommend you visit Craig Copeland’s
website to see more of his amazing work

with natural stone.

The Modigliani Competition has been quite an adventure and it’s finally (or should I say sadly)
come to its final chapter; after examining the revised projects of each finalist, our jurors selected
the winner, and believe me when I say it was a very hard choice, being all 3 such great designs.
The award ceremony will take place on Wednesday the 24th, from 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm, inside the Forum

Santamargherita (located in Hall 1); during

the event, I will first introduce the 3 finalist
projects and then reveal the name of the

winner, who will be invited on stage to

receive his award. After the ceremony, the architect will be a guest at our booth, where

he’ll be able to share insights and details

of his Modigliani fountain’s design. If you want

to know more about the competition or learn

the name of the jurors and the 3 finalists, you
