Fabricator's Day: A Decolores tribute
Each grain of sand tells an ancient story: polishing the oldest witnesses of time is a talent in itself June 23rd - Fabricator's Day. To mark the date, Decolores will present a glass hourglass with fine grains of sand to more than a hundred professionals who are part of our history and who are essential to the stone industry. The decorative gift represents our main quartzite: Mont Blanc, capable of remaining intact through the passage of time, bearing witness to centuries of history. Decolores expresses its admiration and gratitude to the fabricators who turn stones into works of art, bringing the beauty of Brazilian natural stone to the world.
Decolores represents Brazil at KBIS 2024
Participating in the fair considered to be North America's leading event for kitchen and bathroom design, the brand will highlight Mont Blanc quartzite at the Centrorochas stand. Following the intrinsic movement of its DNA, which has innovation and the search for trends as strong compasses, Decolores is present and representing Brazil at KBIS 2024, considered to be North America's leading trade fair for kitchen and bathroom design. The event brings together renowned companies and specialized professionals from the sector in Las Vegas, USA, from February 27 to 29, where quartzite will be highlighted as the centerpiece of the Brazilian stand. The country's participation in the exhibition will take place through It's Natural - Brazilian Natural Stone, an export incentive program developed by the Brazilian Center of Ornamental Stone Exporters (Centrorochas), in partnership with the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil). Architects, designers, builders, engineers and influencers from all over the world will be able to see samples of the main Brazilian natural stones, including Decolores' Mont Blanc, which will line the entire stand. The company's participation in KBIS is a unique opportunity to show American specifiers the 100% Brazilian excellence found in all its products and services, as well as to present natural stone as an excellent option for raising the level of their projects.
Revestir 2024
Decolores, a company born in Espírito Santo, arrives at Expor Revestir 2024 contemplating the beauty and diversity of our country's natural rocks. Named 'Cores do Brasil' (Colors of Brazil), the collection presents a sequence of products originating from our lands, which encompass a diverse range of shades and textures. Between March 19 and 22, at the São Paulo Expo, the brand will occupy a 30 m² stand, designed by architect Bruno Silva of Studio Cocoon Rise, where it will combine trend, innovation and knowledge about its quartzites and their history in Brazil, highlighting the natural choice as a more sustainable and viable option in the midst of a synthetic market. The space features a large panel of Da Vinci quartzite, which goes all the way to the ceiling, highlighting the subtle and delicate movement that the element can bring to interior design, while also emphasizing the various possibilities for installing the stone. On the same perimeter, a bench made of Mont Blanc with Da Vinci inlaid in the shape of a leaf brings a breath of fresh air to the space, once again celebrating the intrinsic naturalness of the material. In another part of the stand, solid stone cubes measuring approximately 5 cm show the different types of Decolores stone and the various possible finishes, illustrating how creativity can be explored without losing the robustness and durability of natural stone. The color palette, in turn, was based on shades of green, a color that is a strong trend this year and represents much of the brand's institutional identity, as well as connecting harmoniously with the concept of sustainability, one of the company's pillars. With content developed especially for the fair by the team of geologists from the Research & Development sector, Decolores also presents a rich context about its products to visitors, with facts and curiosities that highlight the attributes and properties of its stones. Get to know some of Decolores' natural stones that will be at Expo Revestir 2024: Splendido With its pink hue, Splendido quartzite, from Decolores, gave the staircase in the social area a modern, characterful look. Photo: Disclosure. Splendido quartzite captivates the eye and stimulates the imagination. Its authenticity can transform any space into a haven of elegance. The pink hue of the rock - with its layers and veins shaped by the geological wonders of the Chapada Diamantina, in Bahia - creates a welcoming and comforting atmosphere, as well as bringing personality to the interior design. Biancatto Minimalist, Biancatto is perfect for creating neutral and elegant bases. In this kitchen, the Decolores stone has created a light atmosphere for the room, which is integrated with nature. Photo: Disclosure. In Bahia, approximately 944 million years ago, a marine spectacle was unfolding. Carpets of algae and coral reefs were sources of calcium carbonate that precipitated into extensive limestone packages. Under pressure and temperature, Biancatto Marble emerged, a timeless rock with crystallized dolomites in every layer, which delivers a classical symphony reflected in its soft white tones and grey hues. Sodalita The exuberance intrinsic to Decolores' Sodalite is perfect for the design of imposing environments that become the protagonists of the architectural project. Photo: Disclosure. An exuberant rock with a royal blue color due to the abundant presence of the mineral that inspired its name, Sodalite has a polished finish. A rare mineral, it is unique in Brazil, creating a genuinely Brazilian, exclusive, exotic stone with high added value. It can be installed on worktops, tables, washbasins, wall panels and design pieces. Da Vinci The green hue of the fuchisite mineral gives Da Vinci quartzite its personality. Photo: Disclosure. It contains relict minerals that have been transformed over geological time and now have exotic colors, such as the green of the mineral fuchisite, which is rich in chromium, giving it the green hue so characteristic of the chemical element. Polished, brushed or levigated, this quartzite can be applied to façades, internal and external walls, internal and external floors, kitchen worktops, table tops, bathrooms, external cladding for fireplaces and swimming pools. Mont Blanc The brilliance of Mont Blanc enchants all who see it and makes it ideal for spaces that need a more neutral base, as in this art gallery. Photo: Joana França. Characterized by its white background due to the milky quartz in the rock, Mont Blanc quartzite has fluid veins that are sometimes green - due to the presence of the mineral sericite - and sometimes almost black - due to the presence of the mineral tourmaline. Polished, levigated or brushed, it is ideal for internal walls and floors, kitchen worktops, table tops, bathrooms and external fireplace coverings. Ijen Blue Through its celestial color, Ijen Blue gives the spaces where it is installed profound beauty, as in the case of this living room. Photo: Disclosure. Ijen Blue, with its palette that mixes shades of blue, white and grey, is a quartzite that contemplates deep beauty through its color. Its patterns, which fluidly cover the entire surface of the stone, cover projects that value succinct refinement. Whether applied to kitchen worktops, wall coverings or floors, this quartzite not only beautifies, but also instigates a visceral connection with nature. Bronzite With its sober tone, Bronzite is perfect for environments that value sophistication, as in this spa room. Photo: Disclosure. The iron minerals and quartz layers present in Bronzite are responsible for its high hardness and reddish colors, which are often vivid and bright. Polished, brushed, flamed or with a slatted finish - a novelty! -this quartzite is perfect for facades, walls and interior floors, kitchen worktops, table tops, bathrooms and external fireplace coverings.

Raffaello Galiotto signs sculptures made from Decolores quartzites for the Marmomac 2023
The Italian designer chose Sodalita and Bronzite stones to give shape to works of art which will be showcased at Herbarium Mirabile, an exhibit that takes place inside this important stone sector event. Work of art named Dicotomo, created by Raffaello Galiotto in Decolores’ Sodalita. For over 20 years Decolores has built a trajectory of success and strengthening its name as one of the main reference points in the natural stone sector in Brazil and the world. For this reason and not for nothing, the company, which is an enthusiast of innovations and actions that add value to its processes, represents the country in some of the largest and most important trad shows such as the Marmomac, an international event in Verona, Italy, taking place this year on September 26-29. At the time, besides presenting to architects, interior designers, engineers and influencers from all over the world large scale samples of its main products, Decolores also highlights its stones through the poetic and gifted eyes of Raffaello Galiotto, an Italina designer who signs the curatorship of the Herbarium Mirabile exhibit held inside the trade show, and the design of four sculptures made from Brazilian stones from Decolores. Named ‘Dicotomo’, the first piece of the series was created from the bluish hue of the Sodalita. Its continuous elongated edge along the axis accentuates the symmetric shape of the two united parts of sculpture, where the machining was done with a disk outlined in two paths, duplicated and mirrored. Sodalita, with its powerful and expressive patterns, takes us directly to an imposing and mysterious royal-blue sky galaxy. Considered as one of the noblest stone there is, its exuberance – also used in the creation of jewelry – is an ally when it comes to creating lively environments, thanks to its dramatic appearance and intense color palette with striking veins. The raw material used in the other sculpture called Acutum, was the Bronzite quartzite, showing the imposing earthy hues of the product. ‘Acutum’ has a vertical conic shape milled with a disc in a spring poled lathe in individual staggered cutting paths orthogonal to the longitudinal axis. The Bronzite, one of Decolores’ main quartzite launches, has a robust and powerful essence that reminds us of nature’s power magnitude. Full of finesse, this stone is a charming option for those looking to compose environments that exude an inviting atmosphere, conveying large doses of coziness, belonging and energy. The exhibit ‘Herbarium Mirabile' conceptualized by the creation area to take place during the event, where Decolores' four works of Brazilian stone art will be on display. The exhibit gets inspiration from the intriguing and transformative vegetation geometry, presenting itself to the visitors as a type of lithic botanical garden composed by fifteen stone sculptures. All the pieces have been designed in an advanced parametric 3D modelling software and built with high precision computer numeric control (CNC) machines. The company participation in Marmomac is a unique opportunity to showcase the 100% Brazilian excellence found in all products and services of Decolores, as well as to establish new partnerships and strengthen long-standing relationships.

Decolores takes part in the 2023 Cachoeiro Stone Fair
A partner of this important event of the natural stone segment for years, the company presents its main stones on a 72 sqm stand showcasing its innovative strength. A benchmark in the natural stone segment for over 20 years, Decolores constantly invests in innovation to meet the trends of a growing market. A partner for years of one of the main trade fairs of the sector, the company takes part in the Cachoeiro Stone Fair 2023, which takes place on August 22-25 in the city of Cachoeiro do Itapemirim, in Espírito Santo, the largest stone processing center in the Americas. Occupying a 72sqm booth designed by Alexandre Brunato, Decolores expects to receive clients from Brazil and abroad interested in granites, marbles and especially quartzites, in which the company is a processing reference. Decolores will showcase large scale samples of its main stones: the Mont Blanc, Bronzite, Da Vinci, Ijen Blue, Sodalita, Perla Grey and Infinity Grey quartzites and the Biancato marble, as well as showcase a seven-meter-long counter in Da Vinci quartzite holding an exquisite champagne bucket to prove that stone functionality goes beyond being used for cladding. “This space which combines trend, innovation and knowledge was created with the idea of providing a unique experience for visitors who, like us, value the choice for what is natural”, explains Gustavo Probst, Decolores commercial director. In line with the proposal to bring out more knowledge on natural stones, the team of geologists from Decolores Research & Development area will present parts of their routine bringing a petrographic microscope to the booth. The equipment makes it possible to identify the minerals that compose the stone, understand the level of micro-fissures and health and other characteristics that determine the type of use the stone should have. “We will illustrate how petrographic blades are prepares starting from a crude rock, and the differences of the mineral in samples. The goal is that visitors understand the importance of knowing the properties of each stone”, explains Abiliane de Andrade Pazeto, Decolores R&D coordinator. “Another novelty brought to the trade fair by the company is the launching of the Stone Tour, our first industry guided visitation program to bring the natural riches of Brazil closer to the community”, informs Gustavo Probst, Decolores commercial director. The experience will undoubtedly be very rich to clients, architects, interior designers and the sector in general. “Cachoeiro do Itapemirim is one of the most important natural stone hubs in the world. Participating in a trade fair as the Cachoeiro Stone Fair in our own home strengthens our sector. We have great expectations to meet our clients that are coming to Cachoeiro to honor us, do good business and search for new opportunities”, concludes Gustavo Probst, Decolores commercial director.

Cachoeiro Stone Fair: check out the highlights in innovation and sustainability
The biggest event in the natural stone segment, the Cachoeiro Stone Fair, took place this week. See some of the innovations that were part of the fair! The Cachoeiro Stone Fair, the largest event in the natural stone segment, took place in Cachoeiro de Itapemirim, Espírito Santo, between August 22 and 25, and welcomed visitors from around 20 countries and 600 Brazilian cities. The city, which has hosted the fair since 1989, is America’s largest stone processing center, and year after year, the Stone Fair presents the main trends, launches and innovations in the industry. Read on to find out more about what we found there, especially with regard to innovations and sustainability. Cachoeiro Stone Fair: tradition and evolution The event, with its three-decade tradition, is one of the most important for those who work with natural stones. Trade fair is organized by Milanez e Milaneze, a company that is part of the Veronafiere group, a leader in the segment in Europe. It is the place that presents all kinds of new developments in the area, contributing to the development of the industry, bringing consumers and suppliers closer together and generating opportunities in this market. That’s why it is a moment that professionals in the sector look forward to every year, presenting all the latest and greatest in natural ornamental stone. Check out a little more about what was seen at the Cachoeiro Stone Fair In 2023, innovation and sustainability stood out as some of the main themes of the event. Find more details below: Biophilic design Organic modernism or biophilic interior design seeks to value and highlight nature, bringing it into the spaces. This includes the use of natural ornamental stones and their combination with wood and elements that bring to memory leaves, water, and other types of stone. Sustainable materials Besides focusing on the natural in terms of aesthetics, architecture and interior design professionals are also looking for products that have a lower environmental impact. Stone fits the bill for its durability, as with the right care, it doesn’t need to be replaced, generating less wear and tear. However, even less damaging alternatives, such as stones collected and processed using techniques focused on reducing damage to natural resources, will be the priority. Reusing waste In line with the previous topic, the main technologies and innovations in the ornamental stone segment aim to prevent waste from product processing from going to the trash. Some of the alternatives include using the shards in decorative mosaics, and the dust generated during cutting and polishing for mineral enrichment of soils and as a kind of slurry to manufacture bricks and other products. Sustainable future in focus In short, we can expect this to be the highlight of the Cachoeiro Stone Fair: the search for more sustainability in the stone segment. This trend is likely to transform the way we work, becoming stronger and stronger over the years and becoming a differentiator sought by customers.
The exclusivity of natural stones at Expo Revestir 2023
In its sixth participation in the fair, Decolores presents natural stones with different applications and textures Decolores, a company located in Cachoeiro de Itapemirim and Serra, both in the state of Espírito Santo - is coming to the Expo Revestir 2023 with lots of new products for the natural stone market. Having an industrial park covering an area of 74 thousand sqm, the company is focusing on new technologies, latest generation equipment and the presentation of exclusive stones at this edition of the fair. This year at the São Paulo Expo complex between March 14 and 17, the 30 sqm stand designed by Alexandre Brunato will combine trends, innovation and knowledge about natural stones and their origin throughout the evolution of the earth. This content will be developed especially for the fair by the team of geologists from Decolores’ Research and Development department. “We have prepared a space that tells us about the formation of stones in nature millions of years ago, with an exhibition of the raw minerals that formed these stones at the time. The experience will undoubtedly be very rich for customers, architects, interior designers and the sector in general”, says Uberlan Admiral, commercial manager. In addition to presenting innovation at its sixth participation in Latin America’s largest tiling and finishing trade fair, Decolores is proud to offer its customers one of the most diversified portfolio of materials in the market. Highlights include the quartzites Mont Blanc, Bronzite, Perla Grey, Da Vinci, and the exuberant and rare Sodalita. Expectations for the event are high, explains Uberlan Admiral, commercial manager: “The Expo Revestir allows us to present our launches and trends. The fair receives more than 50,000 visitors. It’s a unique opportunity to strengthen the brand, present products, clarify doubts and open up new markets.” Get to know some of the natural stones from Decolores that will be at Expo Revestir 2023: Mont Blanc Characterized by its white background due to the milky quartz in the stone, Mont Blanc quartzite has fluid veins that are somewhat green - due to the presence of the mineral sericite - and somewhat black - due to the presence of the mineral tourmaline. Polished, levigated or brushed, it is ideal for internal walls and floors, kitchen countertops, tabletops, bathrooms and fireplace cladding. Perfect for cladding the entire bathroom, here Mont Blanc quartzite has been applied in a polished version. Unique and exclusive, Mont Blanc quartzite has delicate veins in shades of gray and black. Photo: Robson Salgado Bronzite The iron minerals and quartz layers present in the Bronzite are responsible for its high hardness and reddish colors, which are often vivid and bright. Polished, brushed, flamed or with a slatted finish - a novelty! - this quartzite is perfect for façades, interior walls and floors, kitchen countertops, tabletops, bathrooms and fireplace cladding. With a brushed finish, Bronzite quartzite was installed in this washroom on the walls, countertops and sink. Photos: Wesley Teixeira da Silva Perla Grey Its blue-green shades are due to the presence of minerals such as muscovite, tourmaline and dumortierite. It is a timeless quartzite with excellent technical properties that allow it to be used in cladding, countertops, wall panels and tabletops. Available with polished, brushed or levigated finish. Da Vinci It contains ancient minerals that have been transformed over geological time and currently presents exotic colors such as the green of the fuchsite, which is rich in chromium that gives the green hue so characteristic of the chemical element. Polished, brushed or levigated, this quartzite can be applied to façades, internal and external walls, internal and external floors, kitchen countertops, tabletops, bathrooms, fireplace and swimming pool cladding. The green hue of the fuchsite gives Da Vinci quartzite its personality. Sodalita An exuberant stone with a royal blue color due to the abundant presence of the mineral that inspired its name, sodalite, on a polished finish. A rare mineral, unique in Brazil, creating an exclusive, exotic and genuinely Brazilian stone with high added value. It can be used in countertops, tables, washrooms, wall panels and design pieces.
