ANTOLINI will be collaborating with Architect CLAUDIO SILVESTRIN
Antolini is pleased to announce that in 2014 it will be collaborating with internationally renowned
architect Claudio Silvestrin, who has been asked to interpret natural stone enhancing its potential.
In particular, the task assigned to Silvestrin will include the design of the 2014 Antolini trade fair
stands and the creation of a new concept for Lifestile, the main showroom at Antolini headquarters
in Verona.
The new project by Claudio Silvestrin will be launched at:
IMM, Cologne
Maison&Object, Paris
KBIS, Las Vegas
Salone del Mobile, Milan
ICFF, New York.
The stand will be completely transformed and the exhibition layout reinvented.
Materials, spaces, and exhibition modes are all selected with care, worked out into details to
spotlight the real protagonist: natural stone.
At Antolini, a lot of importance is given to creativity and product innovation. And that’s why the
company is an undisputed leader in its field.
“We know how and where to find natural stones anywhere in the world,” explains Alberto Antolini.
“We can offer the market many exclusive types of uniquely beautiful granite, marble and onyx,
thanks to our company’s skills in highlighting the material’s best features.”

Exclusive Materials
Antolini knows how and where to find natural stones anywhere in the world. And, thanks to the
company’s skill in highlighting the materials’ best features, it can offer the market many exclusive
types of uniquely beautiful granite, onyx and marble.
Brown Chocolate - With warm chocolate tones
and colours that recall the earth, Brown
Chocolate has dominated international markets
for some years now and is extracted from north
eastern Brazil. Due to its hardness, it is treated
like granite and it is highly valued for its very
compact structure. Its colouring and structure are
similar to marble and it is recommended for both
indoor and outdoor use.
Sequoia Brown – It is an exotic marble that
stands out for its specific hardness and colors
that recall wood. It is perfect for interior design
applications, and when it is laid in strips it looks
like a hardwood floor.
Copper Dune - It comes from the north east of
Brazil, an area that has provided a large variety of
exotic stone in recent years. It is regarded as a
granite because of its hardness and it is highly
valued for its blend of brown and light veins which
make it particularly stunning and marble-like. The
pastel colours are reminiscent of those of the
earth and it is highly valued for both indoor and
outdoor use. Besides the polished finish, the stone
is also very popular with a Lether finish.
Azul Macaubas - This is perhaps the most
precious and famous quartzite in the world.
It is from Brazil and its shades of colour range
from very deep to light blue. Its colouring
and hardness make this precious quartzite
perfect for a wide range of interior and
exterior applications, including floorings, wall
coverings and decorative items.
L'Irish Green - Irish Green is a unique, rippledgreen marble. It is famous for its translucent,
apple green elements included in the exclusive
variety of light and dark green shades. This
geologically ancient marble is the same marble
that Renaissance architects used when they
sought to bring the colours of the fields and the
forests to their magnificent palaces.

Natura Collection
The Natura Collection is an Antolini exclusive created to enhance natural stone and present it in an
entirely unique and original way. The patterns evoke nature, the plant kingdom and a wealth of
exotic or native woods in elegant geometric, leaf and plant motif surface decorations that are
perfect for floors or walls.
Antolini presents Flamingo Design, the new pattern designed by Alessandro La Spada, which along
with Magnolia Design, Atlantis Design and Mangrove Design strengthens this collection’s already
important role.
Exclusive processes that can draw out all of the materials’ natural potential through textures and
patterns trigger unique emotions.
One special Antolini technique makes it possible to incise patterns with maximum precision to
create infinite optical effects.
Antolini also presents new finishes for the Texture+ line, the collection that reveals all of the
stone’s potential by creating original surface textures.

Woodstone Collection
Antolini presents new patterns in the Woodstone Collection, Wewood and Herringbone, that
complement the Freewood motifs unveiled in 2012.
Woodstone is a collection that makes it possible to enhance any room or setting with sophisticated
and one-of-a-kind solutions. Woodstone offers an infinite variety of designs that can be creating
simply by exploiting the features of the stone, using different size pieces and arranging them to
bring out their natural beauty.
The Wewood pattern is a sort of weave that combines different forms and finishes. The rectangular
pieces have a lether finish while the squares come with a polished finish.
The Herringbone pattern is exactly what it name says: the individual pieces, that are available in
lether or polished finishes, are set at 90° angles creating a herringbone motif.
Freewood is characterized by the strips that are combined and arranged in always different
combinations recreating and reinventing atmospheres that have long been considered the
exclusive prerogative of hardwood floors. The strips are all 12 cm wide, but lengths vary from a
minimum of 50 cm to a maximum of 100 cm. This is what makes it possible to create new and
unique patterns all the time.
The Woodstone Collection pieces can be used to create countless elegant and linear geometric
effects.

Precioustone Collection
Over 100 types of precious stones comprise Precioustone, the top-of-the-line collection for interior
design applications. Amethyst, quartz, agate and jasper, stones used to make jewelry, become the
star players in interior design applications from wall-cladding to decorations.
All Antolini Precioustone slabs are FULL MINERAL BODY, this means that each slab is gemstone
through and through. Antolini is also the only firm that makes XL size slabs (315 x 190 cm).
Some of the minerals used in the Precioustone collection are translucent, this makes the slabs
suitable for backlighting to create striking and highly original chromatic and artistic effects.

Company Profile
Antolini Luigi & C. is rooted in over 50 years of experience. Constantly evolving, the company has
always supported new technology and development in natural stone processing – without
forgetting the importance of quality.
Antolini has an innate passion for stone: it transforms nature's gifts into beautiful, elegant
masterpieces while maintaining great respect for the environment. Everything Antolini does and
produces is guided by tradition and technology, passion and quality.
The Antolini family conducted its very first business back in 1920, in a small workshop in
Sant’Ambrogio di Valpolicella. The entrepreneurial spirit was so strong that significant investments
were immediately made to increase the production site and buy up quarries.
Between 1950 and 1960, Luigi Antolini took over the management of the company, alongside his
uncles. In a short time he gained the experience needed to start up his own business and create
“Marmi Antolini” with his sister.
Between 1961 and 1989, the new firm Antolini Luigi & C. was established near the River Adige in
Sega di Cavaion, in what is still its main building today. Over the following years, the company
worked more and more with international markets and in 1988 three different companies joined
together and “Eurotrading” was created, covering an area of 130,000 sq.m.
In the ten-year period between 1990 and 2000, the Rosa Beta and Sarizzo Antigorio quarries were
bought (in the province of Sassari and the municipality of Creola d’Ossola respectively). Both
became part of the Antolini group under the name “Licci Alti and Simplon Graniti”. In the same
period, the new “Eurotrading” warehouse in Spain was purchased and “Eurobrasil Ltda” was
established in Brazil.
The early years of the new millennium, between 2001 and 2005, saw the inauguration of the
Stone Boutique and the Stone Gallery at the company’s main site. These were both designed to
display marble, granite and precious materials and the two showrooms quickly became focal
points for experts in the sector.
