This year, the prestigious event, held in Bologna, Italy celebrated its 40th edition and offered a sensory journey through the tactile and visual richness of ceramic surfaces and aesthetics. With its blend of creativity, craftsmanship, and technological prowess, CERSAIE stands as a testament to the evolving landscape of design and innovation within the realm of ceramic
Let’s explore the trends that will redefine space:
Into the CERA-VERSE
The dimensionality trend in ceramics plays with perception, offering tiles that go beyond the flat surface. Three-dimensional tiles with decorative geometric shapes, ridges, or sculptural elements create visual interest and depth. This trend transforms walls into dynamic canvases, capturing and reflecting light in intriguing ways. Dimensional tiles add a modern and artistic flair to interiors, turning ordinary surfaces into captivating focal points.

Matte Please!
In contrast to glossy finishes, the matte / semi-opaque / satin / velvet trend in ceramics emphasizes subtlety. Tiles with these finishes exude a soft, muted sheen, offering a contemporary and understated look. Suitable for a range of applications providing a serene and refined ambiance to any space.
Timeless Wood
Mimicking the organic beauty of wood, veins, and intricate patterns, this trend in ceramics combines the tactile charm of natural materials with the durability of porcelain. Wood-printed tiles emulate the warmth and grain of real wood, while veins and embossed patterns provide a textural dimension. The result is a harmonious fusion of aesthetics and functionality, offering versatile options for flooring and wall applications that evoke the timeless elegance of wood.
Detail-oriented
Textures and reliefs in ceramics celebrates the sense of touch, offering tiles with diverse treatments which make them more unique and with specific character. From raised patterns to intricates grains and finishes textured tiles create a multisensory experience and are eye-catching. They allow for customization of spaces, adding depth and character to walls and floors. Texture becomes a design element, contributing to a rich and engaging visual environment.
Earthy tones
Terracotta pays homage to the timeless beauty of earthen clay. Characterized by warm, earthy tones ranging from rusty reds to muted oranges, terracotta tiles bring a sense of warmth and authenticity to interiors. Whether used in flooring, backsplashes, or accent walls, this trend adds a touch of rustic charm and natural beauty. Terracotta tiles are seamlessly blending with both traditional and contemporary design styles.
