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.

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.
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.

Decolores, a company located in Cachoeiro do Itapemirim and Serra, both in the state of Espírito Santo - is coming to Coverings 2023 with lots of new products for the natural stone market. Having an industrial park located in a 74 thousand sqm area and being a reference point in the sector for 20 years, the company is focusing on new technologies, latest generation equipment and the presentation of exclusive stones at this edition of the fair. A partner of the event for more than 10 years, Decolores will be presenting quartzite, marble and super exotic stones at this edition of the event. The fair, which takes place from April 18 to 21 in Orlando, Florida, “is a great opportunity to strengthen Decolores brand, reinforce our position, launch new marketing actions and, above all, learn about industry global trends and product launches”, says Gustavo Probst, commercial director. Alexandre Brunato designed a 54 sqm stand, where visitors will be able to see up close quartzites such as the Mont Blanc, Da Vinci, Crystal, Ijen Blue, Colorado, Ava Blue, Bronzite, Perlato, Perla Venata, Leblon and Denali. And marbles such as the Tesoro Bianco, Michelangelo and Panda. Another highlight will be the display of the super exotic natural stone Sodalita, which will have an exclusive and Instagrammable space in the project. “Something new prepared for this edition is an area that tells us about the formation of the stones in nature millions of years ago, with an exhibition of the raw minerals that formed the stones at the time. The experience will undoubtedly bring a lot of rich and important information to clients, architects, interior designers and the sector in general”, says Gustavo Probst, commercial director. “The expectations for Coverings are always very good. For 2023, we believe that the event could be an upturn in the market, which had been slowing down. Our participation brings the certainty of strengthened relationships and good business. We hope to continue consolidating our brand in the American market with current and new clients who will be present at the event”, he concludes. Get to know some of the natural stones from Decolores that will be at Coverings 2023: Bronzite Quartzite 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 slatted, it can be installed on façades, internal walls and floors, kitchen countertops, tabletops, bathrooms and fireplace cladding. The interior wall with Bronzite quartzite, from Decolores, is responsible for the room’s striking personality. Mont Blanc Quartzite 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, satin-finished or brushed, it is ideal for internal walls and floors, kitchen countertops, bathrooms and fireplace cladding.

Ijen Blue Quartzite Hematite is the iron mineral responsible for the different bluish-gray colors found in Ijen Blue quartzite, while goethite - also composed of iron - creates the yellow-orange colors that are distributed in the stone in various directions. The combination of these characteristics gives the material an exuberant contrast and surprising natural beauty. Polished, brushed or satin-finished, it looks perfect when installed on internal and external walls, internal and external floors, kitchen countertops, tabletops, bathrooms, fireplace and swimming pool claddings. In the living room, the bluish-gray interior walls and floor have a strong presence of Ijen Blue quartzite from Decolores. Da Vinci Quartzite It contains ancient minerals that have been transformed over the course of the geological time and now have exotic colors such as the green of the fuchsite, which is rich in chromium and creates the green hue so characteristic of the chemical element. Polished, brushed or satin-finished, it can be applied to façades, internal and external walls, internal and external floors, kitchen countertops, tabletops, bathrooms, fireplace and swimming pool cladding.

Sodalita An exuberant stone with a royal blue color due to the abundant presence of the mineral that inspired its name, the sodalite has 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 on countertops, tables, washrooms, wall panels and design pieces. Rare and exuberant, Sodalita has a striking royal blue hue and veins.
