Antolini meets Atlanta and the world of design during Coverings – The Global Tile & Stone Experience, showcasing the best Natural Stones.
Patagonia Extra-Hard Finish
The most important event for the world of claddings in architecture and interior design is back: April 22, Coverings will launch the 2024 edition, this year based in Atlanta at the Georgia World Congress Center. The largest and most significant ceramic tile and natural stone conference and exhibition in the U.S. and North America will feature exhibitors from over 40 countries, giving innovation and research a boost. Within this setting, Antolini will arrive from Italy to showcase its finest natural stones, displayed in a way that will allow visitors to feel and touch them, experiencing valuable contact with Nature.
Visitors will be welcomed by a Cristallo Vitrum “Wow” backlit counter experiencing firsthand the special properties of this Natural Quartz: it’s translucent and thanks to its almost transparent parts may be easily backlit.
Antolini’s technological know-how, applied to Cristallo Vitrum “Wow”, underlines how expertise allows shaping even the hardest natural stones, proposing to the architecture world a wide range of design opportunities. A Patagonia Vitrum backlit wall is on the back and gives visitors another chance to see this unique stone up close.
Among the wide selection of Natural Stones displayed inside the booth guests will walk by Dover White®, Bianco Lasa | Covelano Fantastico and Patagonia Original “Extra”, just some of the incredible materials part of the Exclusive Collection. Antolini, based in Verona, Italy, holds exclusive rights on more than 90 of the best materials and quarries at an international level, and chooses the most valuable variants, introducing them to architects and clients only after a strict control process.
These stones are placed side by side with almost 20 variants part of the TEXTURES+ Collection, a further example of Antolini®’s expertise in processing materials. Through the technological innovation that led to skillful surface processing, the company designed over 50 different proposals of high-tech finishes. Each stone can be transformed by adding unique and highly tactile finishes in three dimensions, such as the SWING Finish, involving a succession of reliefs inlaid on the natural stone and designed to create a pattern across the entire slab, or the STRATOS Finish, which brings out the veining and colors of the stone through the succession of thin parallel lines, or the FLUT Finish, defined by a succession of curvilinear reliefs. The BAMBOO Finish, another option for architectural surfaces, is inspired by the succession of bamboo canes and defined by a regular series of curves and convex volumes; lastly, the HARD ROCK Finish, whose output depends on the grain of the stone, offers endless design possibilities.
When: April 22-25
