By topic: Cersaie 2017: ceramics and water

1. Minimalism and geometry Manufacturers offer to reject all unnecessary, as a constant information noise. Rely on strict shapes, smooth surfaces and monochrome palettes. Small and rare patterned inserts, rhythmic alternation of bright and neutral colors, delicate textures will help revitalize the design.

2. Mix of materials Any combination of not only sizes and shapes, but materials and textures are welcome. Traditional ceramics offer to complement the elements with the texture of wood, concrete, metal and natural stone. There are imitations of terrazzo in the catalogs of 2018.

3. New volume The tile attracts with a pronounced volume that is pleasant to the eye and to the touch. The composition can be ordered or chaotic, combine elements of different forms and textures. Simulated three-dimensional effect is welcome. The muted colors make it easier to fit even unusual solutions into the interior.

4. Handmade Or skillful hand-made imitation. Each tile has its own “face” and character. Rubbing, roughness, cracks on the enamel and the imperfection of the painting "by hand" from the flaws become the main elements of the decor. Here are skillfully reproduced traces of time - in the nostalgic collections, created as if a couple of centuries ago.

5. Gentle classics A modern interpretation of classic designs from old mansions or numerous variations of metro tiles. The palette includes shades of pink, blue and green. The surface of the tile is embossed with a floral pattern, even if very stylized.

6. Rainbow overflow Metallic shades of the 1990s. Mosaic tips are decorated with iridescence - bright color reflections resembling silver holography or gasoline stains. Reflecting the light, attract the eye, changing depending on the angle of view.
