Bologna - Cersaie 2013- as usual a smorgasborg of visual delights and an assault on the senses! If we were to sum up our visual impressions on tiles in a few words we would say Concrete, Neutral, Texture and Wood (effect). All shades of neutral abounded, with 50 shades of grey leading the way. Textured tiles were in abundance, with wood effect, etched or fabric designs. In terms of sanitaryware and bathroom furniture there was a mix of contemporary and traditional. Contemporary was cutting edge designs with whippet thin furniture. Traditional was rich and ornate with lots of gold or brass, this may be an Italian trend rather then spreading over the rest of Europe.
