Just like in the fashion world, the natural stone industry has it’s very own “fashion week”; and where might you wonder does this extraordinary event take place? In Italy of course, from September 26 through October 1, Verona Italy is the showplace for all manner of natural stone, stone design and technology.  Over 67,000 visitors from 150 countries are expected to attend this year’s MARMOMACC Stone Fair, and the MOTW team can’t wait.  As we are always on the lookout for the newest, most exciting and innovative products, our expert-purchasing department lives for moments like these.  

Marble tile just became Thin, Light & Large.  Until recently, the challenges of large format tile installations were more easily met with the use of porcelain tiles.  However, with the availability of 1.2CM Thin natural stone tile, that’s not true any longer.  New manufacturing techniques and processing systems have allowed large format natural stone tiles to rival the ease and convenience previously held by porcelain.  For those wanting the unique and one-of-a-kind look of natural stone in a large format tile, things just go a whole lot easier and beautiful!

Effective, multi-purpose and enduring marble kitchens also add a unique flair and air of beauty to any home or Condo. Marble of the World has taken notice and is excited to provide the best sourcing for any marble project.
