SAIE09 will also feature a new initiative organised as a partnership between SAIE, Confindustria Marmomacchine and the Pietra Naturale that brings to SAIE works in stone by famous designers created using state-of-the-art technologies. 

Opening up the sector of authentic natural stone to new markets means looking to the world of architecture and design, offering the technical and production potential of the marble sector to designers and entrepreneurs who in their everyday work seek out new products and new systems for enhancing, furnishing and lending personality to their buildings.
