Events: presentations and celebrations

GRAND OPENING OF PORTUGUESE LUXURY STONE COMPANY

Portuguese natural stone company Mercado da Pedra, represented by CEO Jorge Longarito in partnership with Rami El Jamil and Enrique Garcia Tineo, recently opened its first showroom in Spain – choosing the upcoming beachside area of San Pedro de Alcántara as their location. Architects, designers and collaborators travelled from Portugal and various areas around Spain to attend the event, where they were joined by Marbella mayoress Ángeles Muñoz. Guests enjoyed drinks and canapés while the charming managing partner of Mercado da Pedro, Rami El Jamil, gave them a warm greeting. Rami commented, “Our stone offers originality and refinement, with each piece being uniquely beautiful in its own way. We offer a fully-comprehensive service from consultancy and advice, three-dimensional simulation and installation to after-sales care, and our team of experts have worked for many years within the field. We wanted to launch in Spain and chose Marbella in order to do so as we felt our luxurious products were what the Marbella market would greatly appreciate, and we are excited to present them here in our beautiful new showroom in San Pedro.” The 200 square-metre showroom displays exquisite and rare stone that can be made-to-measure by their skilled craftsman for private homes and commercial areas. Rami and his team are very keen to build-up a network of professionals quickly for collaborations within the design sector, as well as present their portfolio of products to private customers looking to elevate their home with natural stone.
