For the 34th edition of Cersaie, more than 900 exhibitors representing over 30 countries showcased their products to some 100,000 visitors in Bologna, Italy. From ceramic tiles to kitchen and bathroom furnishings, the annual trade show was ripe with inspiration for the architecture and interior design industries.
Among the various collections was an array of both new and returning ideas as companies put a unique spin on styles visible across the showroom floor. Pattern mimicry, glossy geometry, contrasting colours and pop-art looks featured among this year?s industry-favourite trends.
Natural and Noble
Tile that mimics other materials continues to be popular at Cersaie. Casalgrande Padana, for example, exhibited a collection of products inspired by noble Italian woods. Casalgrande?s Greenwood collection contains rich browns and cool greys with texture and depth similar to authentic hardwood floors. Casalgrande?s Greenwood collection.

Tweed and Tartan
Another trend at Cersaie was tiles inspired by fabric textiles. From a tweed-like product that resembles a classic Chanel coat (by Cooperativa Ceramica D?Imola) to tartan tiles with pearlescent and glittery undertones (by Ceramiche Atlas Concorde), fabric-inspired looks appeared throughout the show. Ceramica Sant?agostino embraced the fabric trend through their Tailorart collection, which includes solid and tartan looks suitable for both walls and floors.
