The 2013 World Stone Congress was held in the International Conference Hall of Stone Fair. About 200 exhibitors from all over the world attended the design conference. The meeting invited Italian stone professional consultants, architecture instructor PieroPrimavori, Swiss stone design company general manager UrsBrandenberg and other stone industry elites to analyze the current world stone design trends.
Trend 1
Backlit natural stone or popular
UrsBrandenberg believes that in the past few years, the focus of the development of the stone industry is the selection of materials, and now the key lies in technology, which brings new possibilities for the use of natural stone in interior design, backlighting natural stone has become a trend.
“The light-transparent stone is bright and rich in color and attractive in structure. It is a good material for high-grade decoration. At present, some natural stones, such as agate and semi-precious stones, are translucent. The thinning process can make opaque jade or striped marble, granite, Quartz stone becomes translucent, making it light-transparent.†UrsBrandenberg said that this process can create new stone and marble-like materials, which will expand the design range of stone to meet the needs of different consumers.
UrsBrandenberg reminds that the backlit stone looks simple, but the actual process is complicated, and it is necessary to master the light source chromatography to bring a comfortable decorative effect.
Trend 2
Stone industry enters the era of green creativity
With the changes of the times, various green and environmentally-friendly high-quality alternatives have emerged, which will push the stone industry into a new round of development.
Primavori admits that the concept of green building will become more and more popular. He said that in addition to artificial stone, the stone industry can recycle some waste materials and make some new materials. It can also combine light with thin plates to make light-transparent stone. In addition, stone can be combined with some special materials to make composite panels, which can save resources.
In addition to developing new materials, green elements can also be incorporated into the design concept. “For example, if you plant green plants on the surface of the stone, you can reduce the noise; or make a tabletop according to the shape of the Coca-Cola bottle, forming a flower shape and embedding the flowers,†Primavori said.
Trend 3
Stone industry extends to the decoration industry
German stone net Brazilian correspondent Mar?celo believes that stone will be widely used in kitchen and bathroom, which has been confirmed in Brazil.
“Brazil rich people also prefer natural stone, think kitchen countertops must be made of granite, like granite in the bathroom and poolside.†Marce?lo revealed that Brazilians like to use “quiet†stones at home, ie color and A more uniform stone texture. In some developed cities and regions, the use of natural stone in kitchen and bathroom will become more and more popular, which requires the simultaneous follow-up of machining technology.
Liu Liang believes that many stone creative design concepts and stone processing techniques are derived from Italy, such as the use of green elements in stone design, etc., is a good idea. In addition, some of the opinions mentioned by experts such as translucent stone and the recycling of waste stone, many Nan'an enterprises in the city have begun to operate, and achieved good results.
"But I must also admit that foreign stone creativity should also take into account China's humanistic environment when it is used in China. There are many architectural design concepts in ancient China that are worthy of carrying forward." Liu Liang said.
