Stone in Design: Material Narratives

4 February 2026

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.

Guests are invited to enjoy bites and cocktails, followed by a networking reception bringing together architects, designers, and industry professionals.

Around 18:30, guests are warmly invited to gather at EIB’s Stand No. 145 at the Surface Design Show 2026, from where we will walk together to the venue, located just a 10-minute walk away.
