I’ve just returned from a trip to Bologna, Italy for Cersaie 2018, the world ceramic tile and bathroom furnishing exhibition. There were some absolutely stunning and beautiful displays from all the big names in the industry. More than 110,000 architects, designers, builders, artists, tile retailers and lovers of great design attended – the biggest Cersaie crowd I have seen in my years of attendance.

This year there were some fantastic tile innovations released that I can’t wait to show you – sizes, colours, textures and design trends. With 840 exhibitors from 40 different countries spread over 161,000 m2 of exhibition space, there are simply too many new releases to cover in one newsletter.
