Here’s a sneak peek at the stone company Julia Marmi at Cersaie, featured as part of the Cer-Sail – Italian Style Concept – exhibition curate by Angelo Dall’Aglio and Davide Vercelli.
The historic company is located in Friuli Venezia Giulia (the far northeast region of Italy) and specialises in the extraction and processing of Piasentina Stone. Piasentina Stone is a unique stone material extracted exclusively in a small area of the north-eastern foothills of Friuli.
Julia Marmi at Cersai saw the introduction of Ritorno – Return, a new coating line in Piasentina Stone, which consists of a collection of micro decorations on Stone in various finishes alternating with traditional processes of the stone. ROCKO is a table made of solid wood chestnut and flamed Piasentina Stone slabs, designed by Davide Vercelli and Angelo Dall’Aglio.

The name “Piasentina Stone” comes from an anecdote of Friulian origin, which is described as “una pietra che la piase”– “a material that is liked”— very highly valued for its physical and aesthetic attributes.
Julia Marmi is part of the Consortium of Producers of Piasentina Stone, formed in 1965 for the protection and development of this product, and to provide services to companies and designers. Julia Marmi has carried out important projects in the contract sector. These include Marella luxury retail stores throughout the world, designed by Archcalo Design studio of architect Angelo Calò, and Radetzky, a trendy venue in Milan designed by Studio Alberto Re.
