We gave our thoughts on the most important trends and developments from Cevisama last month, but here, Tile of Spain offers its own round-up of the key tile takeaways from the Spanish show.
Here’s a round up of the key tile trends spotted at Cevisama 2023: A Glimpse of Gold – This trend can be found as delicate threads inspired by the classic technique of Japanese pottery repair, as brush strokes of gold leaf on mural tiles, or as lustrous homage to the natural patination of metal.
“Playful Patterns – Tiles have always been the perfect canvas for eye-catching designs and now manufacturers in Spain are optimising the latest printing and firing techniques to bring stunning new possibilities for playing with pattern.
“The New Stone Age – Taking cues from exotic stones and the beauty to be found in the deep earth, Spanish brands are recreating the striking matrix effects of the ancient ground beneath our feet. Bringing gravity and nobility to interiors, these large slab porcelain pieces make for high-performance, easy-care luxury.
“Chic Chevrons – A number of Spanish brands offer collections that are ideal for creating striking herringbone designs on the wall and the floor. Presented in delicious colours and the kind of subtle textures that echo handmade ceramics or timber parquet, the looks are both chic and joyful.
“Long and Lean – There’s a distinct move towards tiles that create a slender, linear effect on the wall or the floor, either as a fresh take on the classic metro tile or re-creating the narrow plank effect of Nordic style wood panelling.
“Feeling Groovy – Ceramics lend themselves beautifully to surface texture and 3-D reliefs. While being aesthetically intriguing, these on-trend designs are also very forgiving with their easy-care durability.”
