You are cordially invited to a special evening hosted by the LTAA in collaboration with EIB (Aegean Natural Stones and Minerals Exporters' Associations), celebrating EIB’s participation in the Surface Design Show 2026 with an exclusive post-event gathering dedicated to the importance of natural stone in architecture and design.
The evening will feature a special presentation by Paola Blasi (Arup), offering insights into material-driven design approaches and the evolving role of natural stone in contemporary architectural practice.
