Participating in Marmomac is always a great honor and an indescribable thrill for us. This fair, the most important in the world for the entire stone supply chain, is the perfect stage to showcase our commitment and passion for art and technology. Marmomac, born in one of Italy’s main districts for natural stone extraction and processing, is now the global hub where business and innovation meet, and we are excited to be part of it.
In this unique context, where tradition meets the most advanced innovation, we have the opportunity to engage with industry leaders, discover the latest trends, and, above all, present to the world the fruits of our dedication and creativity. Marmomac is not just a fair; it’s an experience that enriches us both professionally and personally, pushing us to surpass our limits every time.

Project Details:
Project Name: Stonelix

Materials Used: Carrara Marble, 3D printing with marble powder-mixed PLA
Company Involved: MISS Marmi
Professional Institute: Personal project by Fabio Tellia, not linked to Foster + Partners projects
Stonelix: A Triumph of Creativity and Technology
Stonelix is a piece that fills us with pride. It’s a cylindrical object composed of a CNC-carved stone screw and a 3D-printed helix with stone powder. These two coaxial parts screw and unscrew like nuts and bolts, representing a dry joint system inspired by Leonardo da Vinci. This project explores a material transformation cycle, masterfully combining additive and subtractive manufacturing.
Being chosen to create Stonelix is a recognition of our ability to unite artisanal craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology. We are thrilled to showcase the beauty of Carrara marble, processed with modern techniques like 3D printing, demonstrating once again that tradition and innovation can go hand in hand.
We invite you to visit the “Ceci n’est pas un fossile” stand at Hall 10 at Marmomac to discover Stonelix and share with us the passion for excellence in stone craftsmanship. We look forward to welcoming you and personally sharing the journey that led us to create this extraordinary design piece.
