Cersaie gains popularity among design insiders
A beautiful bathroom is more than just a vintage roll-top tub or a statement double vanity. The floors and walls play a significant role in making a good bathroom design great, whether it’s a pattern of tiles, an elaborate splashback, or a clever use of flooring.
Design professionals often look to Cersaie, the International Exhibition of Ceramic Tile and Bathroom Furnishings, for inspiration. This year’s event will take place in Bologna from 21 to 25 September, and it’s expected to draw a large crowd, with over 94,000 attendees last year.
Cersaie showcases the latest innovations and trends from top brands in the industry, allowing like-minded creatives to network and build new relationships. The event will feature a keynote speech from Alejandro Aravena, a highly regarded Chilean architect who won the Silver Lion at the 2008 Venice Architecture Biennale.
Aravena was also appointed an International Honorary Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) in 2010. They will share their expertise with attendees. Other highlights at the 43rd edition of Cersaie include a talk by Annabelle Selldorf, Principal of Selldorf Architects, who will discuss her human-centric approach to design.
Those looking to improve their skills can attend training meetings hosted by Veronica Verona, owner of L’Accademia dello Showroom. The course is designed to help showroom professionals demonstrate the value of their products effectively, enabling them to describe their wares beyond technical terminology.
Sustainability is also a key focus, with the course including a visit to Tiling Town to learn more about this topic. It’s no wonder that architects, interior designers, and craftsmen alike flock to Cersaie, which is held at the Bologna Exhibition Centre, a hub for home renovation and design innovation.
Cersaie stands out for its unique blend of innovation, networking opportunities, and learning experiences. By attending the event, design professionals can gain insights into the latest trends and technologies, as well as connect with like-minded individuals who share their passion for design.
Cersaie is taking place from 21 to 25 September, and tickets are available for free. The event is a must-attend for anyone looking to stay up-to-date on the latest developments in bathroom design and ceramic tile technology.
With its impressive lineup of speakers, including Alejandro Aravena and Annabelle Selldorf, and its focus on sustainability and innovation, Cersaie is an event that design professionals won’t want to miss. Whether you’re an architect, interior designer, or craftsman, Cersaie offers something for everyone.
