«The Black Star company is like a family where specific skills work in synergy to bring our clients’ ideas to life» - explains Massimiliano Alcione, founder of the Campi Bisenzio-based company. Architects, designers, and set designers work to create artisanal creative and customised solutions for exhibition and congress set-ups. «We take care of the project, transportation, assembly, and disassembly, providing all-round assistance».

What makes Black Star a pioneering company is, above all, the materials it chooses. EPS (expanded polystyrene) is an innovative tool for its versatility and set construction yield: «The material becomes alive, malleable and pulsating, to make our clients’ visions become a concrete reality».

EPS also requires less time to manufacture and transport than other material. It is 100 per cent recycled. The excess is donated to a construction company specialising in thermal insulation. «Awareness and sustainable development - explains Massimiliano - are the basis of our core business, to safeguard the life of the countryside and the seas, the settings that really count».
