Cristiano Venturini, CEO iGuzzini Illuminazione, is pleased to invite the press to the Christmas light lunch for a pleasant convivial moment.

On the slender, sturdy frame of the Jack-e bed, Bolzan and the Zanellato/Bortotto designers weave new research into the rediscovery of craftsmanship. Jack-e Intreccio is a version of the Jack-e bed that embellishes the essential design of the frame with a headboard and footboard made by hand from a woven paper cord. The Jack collection expresses the path of sustainability identified in Bolzan's approach to design and project. The product is treated as it becomes, preferring to revive the original model in brand new versions that from time to time recount the craftsmanship excellence of some of the best Italian manufactures, thus becoming witness to a world in which vocation for the territory, beauty and respect for the environment become the fruit of a single drive to do good.

The European Commission's Innovation Fund has selected Cosentino's Cantera Tecnológica project, which with an estimated total investment of EUR 90 million, aims to build an unprecedented plant to produce raw materials for the construction, glass and ceramics sectors in the EU, respecting three fundamental principles: low carbon, circularity and safety.

Cosentino participates in the well-established Milanese event with architects and interior designers presenting the latest collections of innovative and sustainable surfaces for architecture with a focus on customised solutions for the bathroom. C•Bath by Cosentino is a service to the overall bathroom design, for private and public contexts. An integrated approach to bathroom design, with no limits on customization thanks to the versatility of Dekton®, Silestone® and Sensa® materials available in a wide range of colours, sizes, thicknesses, finishes and textures, and ready-to-install products from the brand, as washbasins and shower trays.

De Marchi Verona presented the intense dialogue between craftsmanship and industrial production, updating porcelain, its chosen material, in a path of design research developed together with Doriana and Massimiliano Fuksas and which gave birth to Numen, a refined new collection of Glazed porcelain covering surfaces for interiors and exteriors.
