2023 seems to be moving along at full speed. We are weeks away from the end of the first quarter, and it certainly has been a busy few months. As we have already talked about, StonExpo was a flurry of activity. Many exhibitors and attendees reported positive experiences. Fabricators seem to remain busy and many new product introductions were evident on the show floor.
Recently, I returned from Cevisama in Valencia, Spain. (Video: Behind the Scenes of the Tile of Spain Passport to Creativity Tour) This was the first time the international tile exhibition was held since 2019. Show organizers, as well as exhibitors and attendees that I spoke with, seemed pleased with the turnout. There were many new product lines on display throughout the large exhibit halls. Some of the noticeable trends this year included the return of warmer tones, multi-surface finishes and wellness designs.
