BOLOGNA, ITALY -- A three-dimensional image of two red tiles leaning against each other to form a roof symbolizing the world of architecture and interior design is the design concept that will be used for the 2012 edition of Cersaie, the international exhibition of ceramic tiles and bathroom furnishings to be held in Bologna, Italy, from September 25 to 29, 2012. The image for the 30th edition of the show was created by Grazia Piccininno, an architect student at the University of Genoa.
A simple but powerful idea that underscores ceramic tile's increasingly important ability to adapt to the most varied demands of the market, the poster design originates from the competition "Beautiful Ideas." Based on the concept of "Ceramic Evolution," it explores ceramic tile in terms of an increasingly rapid evolutionary process that nonetheless revisits the compositional languages of the past.
