While larger formats continue to grow in popularity, warmer tones and thinner thicknesses are emerging new tile trends uncovered at the international tile exhibition, which recently reunited the tile industry in Valencia, Spain
From tile collections replicating the appearance of natural materials such as stone and wood to multiple textured surfaces, including finishes that shimmer and shine, the exhibition halls of Cevisama 2023 created visual stimulation for as far as the eye could see. Moreover, vibrant colors of decorative tiles, a variety of geometric shapes and patterns, and seemingly endless expanding format sizes were on display. After a three-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was apparent the tile industry was recharged and ready to reconnect. The international tile exhibition returned to Valencia, Spain from February 27 to March 3, 2023.
“We were happy with the first day [of the exhibition],” said Carmen Álvarez, director of Cevisama. “We heard different languages around the fair and saw business being done on the stands. This was just the start of a great fair.”
