When working in historic city centres, Milan-based practice Arassociati aims to respect the existing urban fabric without mimicry, while in the suburbs they devote special attention to the landscape.

At the 2022 edition of Cersaie, the world’s preeminent exhibition of ceramic tile and bathroom furnishings, naturalistic was the name of the game. Earthy hues, warm tones, and botanical patterns were evident throughout the show while new types of natural material looks presented an element of wonder and surprise.

Dark tones serve to create essential yet warm and cosy bathrooms, where decoration is achieved through the use of “non-colours” and judicious contrasts

The 39th Cersaie, the International Exhibition of Ceramic Tile and Bathroom Furnishings fully lived up to the expectations of the exhibitor companies that had decided to invest in the show as an opportunity to meet their customers in person once again and present their latest product innovations in booths with a powerful visual and emotional impact

After a months-long wait in which we have provided detailed information on every aspect of the show, the time has finally come to throw open the gates of Cersaie 2022, the International Exhibition of Ceramic Tile and Bathroom Furnishings.

Cersaie Digital is Cersaie’s new digital platform. With features such as an exhibitor catalogue, a business matching service, a 3D map and a congress centre, it allows professionals to meet up and do business remotely.

This year’s Cersaie, the International Exhibition of Ceramic Tile and Bathroom Furnishings to be held in Bologna from 26 to 30 September, will feature an additional level with new spaces and functions. A new thematic walkway connecting Galleries 21/22 and 25/26 and hosting contract design firms.

Approved in 2018, it is a unique, international standard for evaluating the environmental, economic and social impact of ceramic tiles.

By comparing their respective environmental impacts, the Life Cycle Assessment showed that porcelain stoneware is more sustainable than other materials.

With Cersaie 2022 less than a month away, preparations are in full swing for an edition of the show (the 39th) that will be “business as usual” in every respect. There will be 15 halls filled with exhibitors; non-Italian companies will make up almost 40% of the total; and the available 140,000 square metre floor space will be fully occupied.
