Design – The state of the art of surface design goes on show at the 39th edition of the Ceramic International Fair for Architecture and Bathroom Design. In the wake of the pandemic years, CERSAIE 2022 is tangible proof of the resilience of a powerful creative sector framing interior designs worldwide. New challenges task the industry, starting from sky-rocketing bills for companies running furnaces and production plants baking tiles 24/7 at volcano-like temperatures. We celebrate them by selecting some of the best collections on show.

Terratinta Group brings forward the terrazzo trend with the Cluster collection, an agglomeration tile in Carrara marble inspired by Venetian Palladiana floors. The innovative graphic imprint blends the shape of the usually “angular” tiles into a more organic design. They become randomly positioned pebbles giving it a more contemporary aesthetic look.
