The White Carrara event returns from June 14 to Sept. 29, 2024, and this year’s edition is entirely devoted to Made in Italy design combined with local excellence, with a widespread exhibition of iconic pieces that tell a story of ingenuity and high craftsmanship passed down from generation to generation.
The 2024 edition of White Carrara, titled Design is back and directed by Domenico Raimondi, features as its protagonist the white marble of Carrara, which over the centuries has attracted artists and creative people from all over the world, supported by skilled workers and advanced technology.
White Carrara is promoted and produced by the Municipality of Carrara in collaboration with Internazionale Marmi and Macchine CarraraFiere SpA, with the co-participation of the Northwest Tuscany Chamber of Commerce, the patronage of the Region of Tuscany and the contribution of the Marble Foundation.
During the summer, Carrara will become a sort of en plein air gallery, a place for incubating ideas, projects and proposals, as well as a privileged meeting point for designers, architects, artists, craftsmen, companies and enthusiasts.
The exhibition-event Design is back will be organized around two main nuclei: on the one hand, the “homecoming” of some of the projects created over time in the city’s workshops, and on the other, the new proposals of contemporary designers, encouraging the meeting between generations and the transmission of know-how.
The project has led renowned Italian design brands, such as Alessi, Antonio Lupi Design, Bosa and Martinelli Luce, to forge new collaborations with local companies, at the invitation of artistic director Domenico Raimondi.
